Stage 1: Two months preparation during which participants undertake preliminary reading, reflection, peer-supervision and supervision practice. Followed by an intensive programme of eight half days via zoom (March programme) or 5 days face to face in Oxford (June programme) which provides an opportunity for participants to develop their own model of supervision.

Stage 2: Two sessions (1.5 hours each) or three sessions (1 hour each) of individual supervision from the programme tutors on your supervision that will start after the intensive course.
