Postgraduate Diploma in Organizational Supervision

The Postgraduate Diploma in Organisational Supervision has achieved the EMCC’s Supervision Training Quality Award, along with only a handful of other supervision programme providers worldwide.

Supervision is making an important contribution to the professional development and quality assurance of consultants and executive coaches and is becoming a key differentiator in the marketplace. At Hult Ashridge, we see supervision as an essential quality assurance process for coaches and consultants. This qualification is designed for experienced organisational development consultants, to help them build their status as senior practitioners and supervisors of coaches and consultants.

As with all of our coaching and change programmes, this programme takes a broadly humanistic relational perspective. It develops your theoretical knowledge of the psychological underpinnings of supervision as well as your critical evaluation of supervision models and theories. The programme is a natural follow-on from the Masters in Executive Coaching.

Overview

Delivered over 14 months, the programme offers an opportunity to be supervised on any aspect of your work, individually and in a group of similarly experienced consultants. The first two modules are based on a series of six intensive two-day workshops at Ashridge. The third is the accreditation module through which, in a reflective description of the participant's supervision portfolio and relational philosophy combined with a live demonstration and discussion of supervision, the candidate demonstrates that he or she has achieved an appropriate level of competence.

Minimum of three years' experience in an organisational consulting or coaching role, with substantial professional experience in a purely coaching role (at least 100 hours); Award of coaching accreditation by a recognised institution or a Masters degree in (preferably Organisation Development) consulting; Motivation to participate in a peer learning community; Proficiency in English.
