Description
The programme is designed for individuals and small groups with an emphasis on one-to-one support. You are assigned an experienced coaching supervisor who guides you through the independent learning activities, supporting you as you build your knowledge and understanding. The workshop sessions provide the opportunity for open discussion and for your facilitator/ supervisor to introduce you to supervision tools and techniques. Supervision sessions also support you as you apply your supervision skills, providing a safe space for reflection and the assignment tutorial prepares you for assessment.

- Directed learning: We provide access to a range of resources, including readings, case studies and practical exercises designed to guide independent study. you are directed by your assigned trainer so that you know which activities to complete and when.
- Personalised support: You have access to tailored one-to-one sessions with our expert trainers / supervisors.
- Work-life balance: This approach helps to fit studies around existing commitments, giving you more control over the learning schedule.
- Empowerment: The programme develops critical coaching supervision skills through self-directed tasks that mirror real scenarios and research activities.
