This programme centers on creating a lively professional partnership with coaches - one in which they can significantly develop their range and capabilities as a coach and supervisor and return to their work resourced and stimulated. It is highly experiential in its approach while still being supported by teaching, practice and feedback in classic and current supervision theories and models.
What distinguishes the CSA Diploma programme 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 & Shohet’s 7-eyed model of Supervision together with core teaching and practice on the Use of Self in Supervision, multi-dimensional Presence work which utilizes the seminal ideas of Sharmer/Senge et al (TheoryU), work with subtle energies , Buddhist Psychology, and quantum physics – a living, relational perspective. There is also teaching on Coaching Psychology and on Systems Thinking. This broad range ensures that the course is both challenging and holistic. Personal Development for Supervisors is foundational and attention is paid to bringing mature reflective practitioners into the profession.
Who Is This Program For?
Highly skilled, experienced internal and external coaches who want to use their knowledge and expertise differently and who are looking for their next challenge or career move.
Senior people in business or consultants, who have coaching and mentoring as part of their function: for example HR, OD, L&D, Heads of Departments, Change Management and Strategy.
Coaches, mentors, consultants who are looking for a well-established, challenging, EMCC accredited program that can provide an excellent forum for learning and development.
Practitioners in the coaching and mentoring field who want to become a first class supervisor and continue their own journey toward mastery.

Additional Work
Information & Guidance - ICF CCEU’s -
For courses starting in 2020 the CSA Diploma in Coaching Supervision course has continued its approved status with the ICF and now carries 108.5 CCEUs. These are made up of 77.5 Core Competencies and 31 Resource Development.
CCEUs from Supervision Sessions: ICF members will record the hours of supervision, date and name of supervisor on the ICF credential renewal document. This is the process for individual members to claim the additional 8 CCEUs in Core Competencies.
ICF Policy
With this update, ICF Credential-holders will be permitted to count work with a Coaching Supervisor toward Continuing Coach Education (CCE) requirements in the area of Core Competencies for renewal of their ICF Credential. These hours are accepted on an hour-for- hour basis, and there is no upper limit on the number of Coaching Supervision hours that can be applied toward an ICF Credential renewal applicant’s CCE requirement.
ICF’s Position on Coaching Supervision
ICF recommends coaching supervision for full-time professional coach practitioners as part of their portfolio of CPD activities
Coaching supervision is sufficiently different from coaching that training to provide the knowledge and opportunity to practice supervision skills is needed. As such, all coaching supervisors should receive coaching supervision training.
Additional notes
Coaching supervisors DO NOT have to have ICF credentials. There is no need for supervisors to apply for approval.
NB The ICF France Chapter insist that only ICF Master Certified Coaches can be on their registry of coach supervisors. That is a local policy and not ICF global policy.

There is an additional cost of £1200* for your required supervision sessions which form part of the programme, however most students are able to easily cover this element by charging for the Supervision they provide over the 12 months.

Feedback from Graduates...
“The CSA supervision programme has added enormous value to my development…a stunning, original programme full of heart and rigour in equal measure…the CSA diploma in supervision is expertly designed….will engage all types of learners…stretched me in many wonderful directions…fabulous reading list…taking away a huge amount….genuine care from all the staff…energy, enthusiasm and authenticity of the faculty is inspiring.”
The Diploma programme was really fantastic - one of the best things I've ever done - and I'm looking forward very much to putting more of the learning into practice, and to developing my skills in supervision. It's an amazing discipline, and what a rich and fascinating course. AW
CSA's coaching supervision programme is cross-disciplinary & leading edge as it integrates knowledge from many different fields. Having qualified as a CTI coach it has been liberating to work with many new models & perspectives that have enabled me to deepen & broaden my supervision practice, all in service of my clients. I have felt hugely met & supported throughout the learning journey. I would highly recommend this course to any coach who is ready to take their practice to a new level.
Attending Module 1 felt worth the wait during the pandemic. The holistic systemic thinking behind the programme left me with awe! It is designed in a way where participants can not only learn the underpinnings of each model but also experiment in a safe environment. There is so much room for self-reflection on the being of the person which creates an opportunity to deepen the learning. On that note, I found it inspiring to see SUPER-VISION starting from the self and expanding outwards. It felt like wandering in the garden of consciousness. One of my biggest take-aways is Who You Are is How You Supervise. Look forward to this growth journey! Thank You!
The program moved to online due to the pandemic and any reservations I may have had about this method where quickly removed by the way in which the CSA team facilitated the learning and ensured connections and engagement. They are just first class, and role model and embody the ethos of “Who you are is how you supervise”.
I have learnt so much already and the journey is only just beginning….where to start……I learnt that presence and remaining fully in the relationship with the client are key to unlocking what emerges. I learnt that the energy field and how are intentions can and do impact what is being said and unsaid, can transform the supervision. I learnt that pushing myself to my learning edges is the only way to learn, stretch and grow, and something I am coming to accept will be part of my practice with my clients now and in the future.
I notice already a shift in me, with my work as a Coach and also as a Leader, there are many aspects of the supervision program that have had multiple impacts on me at a very human level. The reading material and the recommended books, whilst at first looked daunting are so rich, I cannot stop indulging and have 3 books on the go at the same time to satisfy my thirst for the topics!!!
I would recommend this program to professional coaches and practitioners who are looking to develop and stretch themselves, and in turn provide their clients and the organizations and roles they serve in a profound learning experience through supervision. D. Chatten
