Why we choose CMI for Professional Coach Supervision
As an approved centre for both CMI and ILM, we are able to choose the awarding organisation that we believe is the strongest fit for each area of professional development.
For our Professional Coach Supervision qualification, we choose CMI.
CMI has a long-established reputation in management, leadership and professional development and offers a specialist qualification pathway for Professional Coach Supervision. Its framework recognises supervision as a distinct discipline, bringing together reflective practice, ethical decision-making, professional standards and the capability to support coaches working within complex organisational settings.
That makes CMI particularly well suited to the way we approach Professional Coach Supervision at ChTC. Effective supervision extends beyond coaching or mentoring the practitioner; it creates a structured space for reflection, professional challenge and learning, helping coaches maintain safe, ethical and effective practice while considering the needs of their clients, organisations and wider professional systems.
For learners, a CMI qualification also provides independent recognition from an established professional body, giving coaches, employers and clients confidence that their development has been assessed against defined qualification standards.
The right accreditor for the right qualification
We don’t believe that one awarding organisation is automatically the best choice for every subject. As a centre approved to offer qualifications from both ILM and CMI, we select the qualification framework that we believe best complements the subject, the learning experience and the professional outcomes our learners are seeking.
For Professional Coach Supervision, that’s CMI.
