The ‘Global Supervision Training’ programme is made for you. 

Our program is compliant to both ICF (CCEUs) and EMCC (ESQA) standards

The Global Supervision Training is an 160 hours on-line program over nine months. It encompasses theory, demonstrations, observed and peer practice, self-reflection. It is a whole transformational process that will support you to:

  • Learn how to align to strong values and the four ontological levels

An on-line process: immediate practice to integrate the competencies

Open to the world, the programme consists of: webinars, demonstrations, peer practice, observed practice,… You will have your own tutor to make sure that you feel at ease with the process and the content. You will be invited to pursue your practice as supervisor with your first own client and to have your own supervisor (included in our programme). And you will be invited to self-reflect and journal your supervision experiences. All this will count towards your certification with us (and for your accreditation with the EMCC).

Why us?

The supervisor training course by the Academy of Coaching Supervision & Mentoring is based on best practices in professional supervision.

Once the course is completed and validation (certification) is successful, you are ready for the next and final stage of acquiring the internationally recognized supervisor status which consists of EMCC accreditation (the only internationally recognised organization uniting coaches, mentors and supervisors that has clear and developed competencies for accrediting supervisors).

 

In the course of the training programme (7 modules), you will work directly with the programme creators, Sylviane Cannio and Ludmila Kostandova. Both are experienced professional coaches. Sylviane is a pioneer of coaching in Belgium and both have developed a global practice; they also were the creators of internationally known coaching schools. Ludmilla, with almost 25 years’ experience in serving executive teams, has in-depth experience in coaching, mentoring and supervision, and specialises in supporting leaders who are undergoing complex organisational transitions. Together, they form a strong team of expert trainers at your disposal. 

Our goal is to give you the opportunity to shape your individual style of work as coach supervisor.

In terms of methodology, the program is based on the systemic ontological approach, including the psychodynamic perspective (in-depth work on transferential relationships, individual and collective defense mechanisms, parallel processes in supervisor-supervisee dyads and in groups), and individual and group reflective practices between modules.

An important clarification for ICF coaches: there are two levels of competence, those of the coach and those of the supervisor. Both are specific to each profession. But rest assured, when it comes to coaching competencies, six out of eight competencies are common to both the ICF and the EMCC. The EMCC adds two dimensions, namely the evaluation of the coach’s process/work and the consideration of other stakeholders, such as the sponsor, in a more structured way. The ICF, on the other hand, places greater emphasis on presence and active listening, i.e., the coach’s behavioral competencies. Referring to an ICF or EMCC competency framework is sufficient.

Becoming a supervisor therefore only involves acquiring eight skills specific to supervision, such as a systemic approach and experience sharing, in addition to more traditional skills such as managing agreements and building trust. In other words, when you acquire these new skills, you greatly improve the quality of your coaching, and that’s very good news.
