Online Supervision Training Courses
Are you interested in becoming an online supervisor, or are you already supporting others using computer mediated technology?
If so, you may be interested in participating in either stages of the courses available with OCST.
Practising as an online supervisor requires additional skills and considerations to those utilised within face to face supervision relationships. Developing the additional skills and expertise to provide effective online supervision to supervisees and related client work, can be supported by engaging in either of the courses listed below. Delegates who successfully complete the requirements for either course will receive a certificate issued by OCST. For those practitioners who have none, or very limited experience of providing online supervision, the stage 1 course is appropriate. For those practitioners who have some experience of providing online supervision, course two would be most appropriate for further skill development:
OCST Online Supervision course (1)This first stage of the training is a six week online course where delegates consider how the skills of face to face supervision and their chosen theoretical supervision framework transfer to an online media to consolidate and form a personal model for effective online supervision practice. The course content includes both synchronous and asynchronous activities and exercises which enable course members to practice their developing skills. All activities and online course meetings are facilitated by the course tutor.
The course fees for stage 1 are £250
OCST Online Supervision Course (2)The second stage of online supervision training provides opportunities for those practitioners who have some experience of providing both face to face and online supervision to further develop their online supervision skills and competency in supporting supervisees using computer mediated technology. The course includes both synchronous and asynchronous activities using a variety of computer mediated technologies and creative ways to enhance online supervision practice. The course duration is 10 weeks and includes activities and online course meetings which are facilitated by the course tutor.The course fees for stage 2 are £300.

OCST Online Counselling Supervision Course one If you are looking for a course that will give you new skills, remind you of old ones, stimulate your thinking, enhance your presence online and offers value for money?? Well look no further! The supervision course offers all of the above. I have recently completed Part 1 and I highly recommend it. What was covered in this course in six sessions; could take months to learn in a different context. The standard is high, and the cost is low....it is certainly a bargain!......what more could a prospective student ask for in a course?

OCST 1 Online Counselling Skills Course I found Jane’s OCST 1 course to provide an interesting insight into the ramifications of online counselling, for learning new skills and for how to apply existing ones to an online context. Many Thanks!

OCST 1 Online Counselling Skills Course I now feel much more knowledgeable, skilled and prepared to undertake online work in our service. I would not want to undertake this work without such a course as there are additional skills and considerations for even the most experienced face to face counsellor. The online Skype support and feedback was excellent. It was a good mix of theory and practice and I was able to fit it into my working day with some time allocation from my manager. Thanks Jane.

OCST2 Online Counselling Skills Course "Learning together as a group and discussing issues on the Forum gave me a tremendous feeling of support and the course Wikki was full of interesting information. I recommend this course without reservation and am looking forward to training further with Jane".
Julie Stocks. Counsellor, University of Lincoln.
“A highly supportive, educational and enjoyable course that I would recommend to anyone interested in Online Counselling.
All you need to know is covered and explored through group meetings, supervision, forums and other invaluable communications.
Whether you are a beginner or have had some experience within this field, the course will effectively develop your skills and enhance your learning”
Jonathan Bance. Volunteer online Counsellor. Samaritans. Leicester.
"I wholeheartedly recommend this course. Although I am a very experienced counsellor, I have learnt so much, reviewed my skills and their use both on-line, and face-to-face. The benefits are considerable. For anyone wishing to gain greater understanding of e-counselling, then this is a very good course to take". - Audrey Baker. – Practice Manager.
www.bvcounselling.co.uk"I work exclusively in private practice now but have previously worked as a counsellor and clinical supervisor in the NHS, Education, RELATE and a Hospice. I’ll put my hand up and admit that I was sceptical when I first heard of ecounselling but over the duration of this course I’ve become a convert. The course was genuinely ethical and offered a comprehensive and stimulating experience of all the skills and competencies involved for online work. The ‘presence’ of my online client and my online colleagues was ‘very real’ to me. Using the core skills and other online competencies that were skilfully taught to me by the excellent tutor on the course has given me the confidence to say ‘yes’ a therapeutic relationship does and can exist online."
