This course provides a comprehensive, high quality and supportive supervision training route from novice to experienced practitioner.
...As I have noted in the past, the CST Diploma course remains a feather in the cap of accredited training monitored by the ASIIP, providing a unique opportunity for supervisors from a range of backgrounds and situations to develop, deepen and extend their practice of supervision. Long may it flourish!’

The New Hybrid Diploma
2023 will see the launch of our new hybrid Diploma combining the best of online and face to face teaching. Whilst the course has traditionally been delivered face to face at Thriplow Hall, the conversion to online teaching during lockdown has now given us the experience to create a training which combines the best of both modes. As well as developing an effective model for training, this hybrid is also very much in keeping with the new reality in which online supervision has emerged as an equivalent option to face to face supervision.
Please note: All face to face sessions must be attended in person.
