ILM Level 7 Certificate and Diploma for Coaching Supervisors

Is this programme for you?

The ILM Level 7 Certificate and Diploma for Coaching Supervisors are ILM’s most senior coaching qualifications. As a learner, you will develop your expertise in the fields of coaching.

The qualification consists of three mandatory units that allow you to critically review the role and contribution of coaching supervision to the process of coaching at all levels.

We combine the structured framework of an ILM qualification with a flexible blended approach to learning that provides a pragmatic alternative to workshop based programmes with fixed dates for attendance.

You will be provided with tools and techniques to improve your practice and understand how your personality and circumstances can affect the coaching supervision relationship.

For the Certificate, you are required to demonstrate your ability to plan, deliver and review at least 20 hours of coaching supervision.

For the Diploma, this is extended to 60 hours.

Each course is delivered through a unique blend of supervision, work based learning and coaching practice. You will define a set of objectives designed to have a real impact on your coaching supervision practice.

As you progress, supported by your own coaching supervisor, you will focus on achieving high levels of impact for yourself and your clients. Your learning will evolve as you progress, drawing on monthly coaching supervision sessions, structured online learning and a large library of materials.
