The CSA Diploma in Coaching Supervision
Established in October 2005 and now hosted around the world. Our Diploma is available in the Americas, Asia Pacific, China, France and the UK.
This rigorous, 1-year programme is designed for experienced professionals who wish to have a globally recognised qualification in Supervision.
Since 2005, CSA has trained Executive and Business coaches from a rich and diverse range of backgrounds, cultures and experiences; our accredited graduate supervisors work globally applying their skills in a diverse variety of different contexts.
Our approach is to develop the human being as well as the professional practitioner, it is our belief that “who you are, is how you supervise”®. This statement is grounded in a deep appreciation of our shared humanity, an honouring and respecting of uniqueness and our care for the earth.
What Makes CSA Different?
The distinguishing feature of the CSA Diploma programme is that in addition to a thorough training in classic supervision models, students will learn about CSA’s 'Full Spectrum Model' of Coaching Supervision.
The Full Spectrum Model incorporates Hawkins & Shohet’s 7-eyed model of Supervision together with core teaching and practice on the Use of Self in Supervision, multi-dimensional Presence work which utilizes the seminal ideas of Sharmer/Senge et al (TheoryU), work with subtle energies, Buddhist Psychology, and quantum physics – a living, relational perspective. We also include teaching on Coaching Psychology and Systems Thinking.
This broad range ensures that the course is both challenging and holistic. Personal Development for Supervisors is foundational and attention is paid to bringing mature reflective practitioners into the profession.

CSA is proud to have Approved Provider status with the ICF. Our Diploma now carries 108.5 CCEUs, made up of 77.5 Core Competencies and 31 Resource Development.
The CSA Diploma Course was one of the first to be accredited and has continuously maintained this accreditation with EMCC.
