Advanced Certificate in Group Supervision EMCC Level 7 Award Overview This is an Advanced Certificate for qualified and/or experienced supervisors. The Advanced Certificate in Group Supervision is accredited by EMCC and is suitable for coaches, HR professionals and other leaders provided they have completed initial supervision training - with Crucial Difference or elsewhere.
Group Supervision involves the entire being of the supervisor as a living~learning system, integrated within the context of groups and the wider world.
Within this programme you will find yourself immersed in a range of encounters designed to stretch you. These experiences will help you to recognise deeply embedded personal and relational patterns, enabling you to be more choiceful, and better hold others in a group context. You will source, and draw from, your own areas of interest; applying insights in practice; sharing discoveries with peers - during the programme and beyond.
The programme offers opportunities to deepen knowledge of yourself as a supervisor, particularly yourself in groups. It extends your learning far beyond the basics. This is a challenging programme! It can be completed in 28 weeks, and requires around 6 hours engagement per week, every week. The course enables you to look deeply at yourself in your work, peeling back layers of awareness, noticing patterns, and understanding the dynamics at play when humans interact.

Testimonials What a gift & conclusion to a wonderful experience. The design & delivery of this Group Supervision Program was stunning. The many facets & contributors made it rich, varied and distinctive. I met some fabulous fellow learners too. I will always ask the question "who are you in groups" and remember to apply the Simple Rules.
I am so delighted to have completed this programme. Working with 8 other wonderful supervisors, I have had an opportunity to refine the craft of supervising groups. Even more importantly, I have had a chance to meet myself and to reflect deeply on myself in relations to groups,. What a journey!
