Barefoot Coaching’s Certificate in Coaching Supervision

University approved supervisor training

Barefoot Coaching has particular expertise in training coaches to become coach supervisors and has been delivering a university-approved Coaching Supervision programme since 2008.

For a coach, professional supervision is crucial for continuous professional development. It provides a safe, supportive space for reflection, guarantees quality, embeds ethical practice, and offers the opportunity to re-energise and review coaching practices.

Our programme cultivates skilled, ethical, and reflective supervisors, providing theoretical knowledge, practical experience, and reflective practice skills to support the professional development of coaches and maintain high standards in the coaching profession.

Why train with Barefoot to become a Supervisor?

We are proud to present a coaching programme that does not advocate one particular approach to coaching supervision but instead offers a wide and varied spectrum of approaches and ideas that enable you to develop your own supervisory style. 
 
This is a highly practical programme where delegates will have the opportunity to observe live demonstrations of coaching supervision in action, practice supervising one another and receive constructive and robust feedback from tutors and fellow delegates. 
 
On completion of the programme you will be equipped to work as a supervisor to new and experienced coaches, working one to one or with supervision groups.
