Supervision course is world first
For immediate release. October 2008
01/10/2008
A coach supervision course has become
the first to gain International Coach Federation approval.
The Certificate in Coach Supervision,
run by London-based Coaching Development, has been awarded Continuing Coaching
Education status by the International Coach Federation (ICF).
This makes it the only ICF approved
programme that offers a certification in coaching supervision. It is also
the only ICF recognised program that is designed to train coach supervisors
as its primary purpose.
Coach supervision provides coaches
with the opportunity to learn from their work, develop best practice and
consider ethical or managerial issues with an experienced professional
in a supportive environment.
The Certificate in Coach Supervision
is open to trained coaches subject to admission interview. It is taught
over twelve days, introducing a variety of supervision models with extensive
opportunities for practice, reflection and integration.
The ICF has assessed this programme
as providing 55 units of approved Continuing Coaching Education. These
units can be used by coaches when applying for an ICF credential or renewal
of their credential.
Course director Hilary Cochrane,
MCC, said:
"Coaching is a rapidly growing profession.
Many organisations now ask that external coaches have a named supervisor
and this is pushing the demand for good quality supervision to an all time
high. This course is a fantastic opportunity for experienced coaches who
are committed to their profession and are looking for their next challenge."
Course director Trudi Newton, said:
"I am delighted that this course
is leading the profession in developing and supporting the critical role
of coach supervisor. The certificate programme has been designed to build
a body of well-trained, informed supervisors who understand the ethics
and responsibilities of the coaching profession."
