Illuminate your coaching practice
AoEC Group Supervision
Group supervision at the AoEC supports you to deepen your coaching practice, gain new perspectives and enhance your professional standards. Facilitated by trained supervisors, these sessions offer a safe space to reflect, share and learn with your peers.
Coaching bodies such as EMCC Global, AC, and ICF recognise the value of coaching supervision for practising coaches. Supervision is a condition of coach accreditation with EMCC Global and AC, and you can use your supervision hours towards a credential renewal with the ICF.
If you wish to work with organisational clients then a commitment to coaching supervision, as well as your coaching certification and coach accreditation or credential, is a common criterion of the coach selection process.
