Coaching and Mentoring Supervision Programme, ILM Recognised

Supervision is no longer optional in professional coaching practice, it is essential.

This ILM Recognised programme is designed for experienced coaches and mentors who are ready to step into the next level of their professional maturity: developing the capability to deliver high-quality coaching and mentoring supervision, both individually and in groups, within complex and evolving organisational contexts.

Through this programme, you will develop the capability to deliver individual coaching supervision with depth, structure and professional confidence, while also learning how to design and facilitate group coaching supervision, creating reflective, high-impact learning environments. You will strengthen your understanding of ethical practice, boundaries and responsibility in coaching and mentoring supervision, and enhance your ability to support coaches operating in complex organisational and leadership contexts.

As your practice evolves, you will build a recognised specialism in coaching and mentoring supervision, equipping you to offer both individual and group supervision as a professional service, and to contribute meaningfully to the quality and development of coaching practice within organisations and across the wider profession. This programme equips you to confidently facilitate individual coaching supervision sessions and group supervision spaces, enabling deeper reflection, shared learning and sustained professional growth.

This is not simply a skills-based programme.

It is an invitation to transition from being a coach who reflects on practice, to a practitioner who can hold the reflective space for others.

Supervision requires:

the ability to work with complexity and ambiguity
a high level of self-awareness and presence
the confidence to challenge, support and enable insight
a strong ethical foundation

This programme supports you in developing these capabilities, enabling you to step into supervision with clarity, credibility and authority.

Who is it for

Experienced coaches and mentors looking to offer individual and group supervision
Coaching professionals seeking to deepen reflective practice and professional standards
Internal and external coaches supporting organisational coaching cultures
Those progressing towards a supervision-based coaching practice or portfolio career

Exclusive Programme by BSC

This course was developed by BSC and recognised by ILM City & Guilds after we saw a need for Coaching Supervisors to professionalise their practice. Although coaching and mentoring supervision is essential for every professional coach, skilled supervisors are in high demand and can be difficult to find. Our programme will give you the skills and focus to move into this crucial role. Adding supervision to your skillset allows you to diversify your work, support other coaches and contribute to the wider coaching profession. With organisations placing greater emphasis on quality and accountability, the ability to deliver structured individual and group supervision is a powerful and future-focused capability. As coaching continues to mature as a profession, the role of the supervisor becomes increasingly significant.

This programme offers a considered, rigorous and practice-led pathway into coaching and mentoring supervision, equipping you to contribute not only to the development of individual coaches, but to the integrity and evolution of the profession itself. This programme is ILM Recognised, providing external validation of quality and reinforcing its alignment with professional standards in coaching and mentoring practice.
