We are trying to keep our criteria to join as broad as possible to be inclusive, yet ensure that coaches can benefit from skilled and well-trained supervision.
We can confidently assure coaches and buyers of supervision that AoCS members are all trained, qualified and experienced in coaching supervison (unless in-training), additionally most are accredited, and all subscribe to a code of ethics and hold professional indemnity insurance (where this exists in their country of residence). They also retain membership of their own professional body and actively maintain their CPD.
If your background varies a lot from this criteria yet you feel you can offer significant support and benefit to coaches, please complete either the Affiliate or Associate Membership application form, to outline your alternative experience and/or qualifications.
Applications from Coaches, Mentors, OD, HR, L&D professionals do not need to meet the above criteria, but show interest in learning more about coaching supervision and its benefits in the coaching and learning field.
Criteria for nominating a coach supervisor for your reference(s)
Choosing your own supervisor
AoCS cannot provide endorsements or recommendations when choosing a supervisor. Do select from our website - 'find a supervisor' - where you can see a range of profiles that include their background, qualifications, experience and some testimonals. We suggest that you request a quote and set up a trial period with a new supervisor to see if you're compatible, just as coaches do with their new clients.
