ICF Approved Diploma – UK Course

The CSA Coaching Supervision Diploma

This rigorous, nine-month programme is for experienced coaches who wish to have a recognised qualification in Coaching Supervision. Since 2005, CSA has trained over 100 Executive and Business coaches and our Accredited  graduate coach supervisors are working world-wide. Our approach has a dual focus, personal and professional, as it is based upon our assertion that, “who you are, is how you supervise”.

The Diploma Course has been awarded Approved Provider status by the ICF and counts towards a Masters  at Kingston University.

Introducing the Full Spectrum Model

What distinguishes this course is that in addition to a thorough training in classic supervision models, students will be trained in CSA’s Full Spectrum Model of Coaching Supervision.

The Full Spectrum Model incorporates Hawkins & Smith’s 7-eyed model of Coaching Supervision together with core teaching and practice on the Use of Self in Supervision, multi-dimensional Presence work which utilizes the seminal ideas of Senge et al (U Theory), work with subtle energies , Buddhist Psychology, and quantum physics – a living, relational perspective. There is also teaching on Coaching Psychology and on Systemic thinking in Organisations.

This broad range ensures that the course is both challenging and holistic. Personal Development for Coach Supervisors is foundational and attention is paid to bringing mature reflective practitioners to the profession of Coaching Supervision.
