Supervisor Training Workshop Series
This workshop is part of a series covering all knowledge-based learning outcomes and content areas outlined in the BACP Counselling and Psychotherapy Supervision Training Curriculum.
You can view the curriculum on the BACP website by clicking here: https://www.bacp.co.uk/events-and-resources/ethics-and-standards/competences-and-curricula/supervision-curriculum/
The purpose of this series is to make the required knowledge accessible to practitioners training as supervisors and to supervisors refreshing and updating their competencies.
Onlinevents’ radical inclusion policy ensures everyone can participate by offering pay-what-you-can tickets for live workshops and affordable access to recordings in the Learning Library. This aligns with Onlinevents’ mission to make learning within the helping professions accessible to all.
While this series does not constitute a full Supervisor Training programme, it offers a thorough grounding in the knowledge-based learning outcomes and competencies described by the BACP. These workshops are an excellent foundation for those looking to expand their understanding of supervision and prepare for further training. To meet all competencies and integrate this knowledge into practical skills and personal development, participants should enrol in a Supervisor Training programme that will support the integration of this knowledge-based learning into the skills and personal development needed to practice as a Supervisor.
