Graduate Certificate of Professional Supervision

Professional supervision facilitates an ongoing conversation between a person’s soul (motivation), role (responsibilities) and context (enabling and limiting factors of practice). It attends to systemic wellbeing: the wellbeing of the practitioner; the wellbeing of the supervisee and the wellbeing of the organisation within which the work is set.

Student Stories

I am passionate about Pastors and Leaders flourishing in their work and having a space to explore and unpack how their work is impacting them and others which is why I decided to enrol for the Graduate Certificate of Supervision. The course has helped me to see how I can pastorally care for Pastors and Leaders so they can thrive in their work and lives.

Donna Kipps
ACC Pastor

I have been pastoring for over 20 years and am passionate about the deliberate care for pastors and leaders. This passion led me to study the Graduate Certificate of Professional Supervision with AC. I love that this formal learning will better equip me to pastorally care for church leaders and pastors in the future.
