Description

This comprehensive 45-hour clinical supervisor training prepares clinicians to provide effective, ethical, and developmentally appropriate supervision and meets the requirements for those seeking the Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) credential through NBCC.

Participants will develop the ability to assess supervisee needs, select appropriate supervisory interventions, and respond to relational, cultural, and systemic factors that influence supervision. The training emphasizes building effective supervisory relationships, supporting supervisee development, and applying structured supervision practices across clinical settings, including individual, group, and technology-assisted supervision.

Participants are introduced to the ARC Integrative Supervision Model (Assessment, Response, Context), a structured decision-making framework used to guide supervision in real time and integrated with major supervision theories and approaches.

The training includes key components of supervision practice such as onboarding, documentation, evaluation, remediation, and ethical decision-making, with a focus on real-world application.

By the end of the training, participants will be equipped to implement a structured supervision process and apply supervision concepts with clarity, confidence, and intentionality.

“I thoroughly enjoyed this course and am pleased to have made the investment! Exceeded my expectations and I am grateful to have found CCFAM. I look forward to doing more training with CCFAM in the days ahead. Quality, professional, and phenomenal!” -Recent Participant

Why would I want to become an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) with NBCC?

An advantage of the Clinical Supervisor is that it is a credential that signifies the quality of training you received as a national credential which may be accepted in more than one state. Like any credential, it shows that certain requirements were met, and NBCC is a nationally recognized organization.

The structure, readings, and supervision demonstrations helped me reflect on my own approach and gave me new ideas I can immediately apply. I also appreciate the detailed responses to my questions.
