Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Supervision
Develop advanced clinical and professional supervision skills while learning alongside practitioners from a wide range of professions. Grow your skillset through short block-courses and online flexible self-directed study, with feedback from peers and lecturers. This multi-disciplinary program is designed to meet the demand for qualified supervisors in social and human services.
Throughout the program, you will examine the concept, role, purpose, and benefits of professional supervision and explore a range of theoretical and practical models and approaches, including anti-oppressive and cross-cultural dynamics within supervision. Through classroom presentations, small group practice and written assignments, you will develop and integrate advanced knowledge, skills, and values of professional supervision.
Through elective courses, you will have an opportunity to develop critical skills in staff management and explore teaching and learning strategies for supervising students on field education placements. With direct applications to your current workplace, the program offers the opportunity to fine-tune your group supervision skills and cover the complex dimensions of stress and trauma encountered by health and human services workers. You may also study a special topic of interest.
