Origin

The Supervision is an interactive process through which the supervisor provides instruction and feedback to one or more supervisees about the provision of services and progress of clients. Effective supervision can have a major impact on supervisees’ professional competence and client welfare. It holds a central role in the training and continuous development of counselors and other helping professionals. Standards established by accrediting bodies for the training of counselors emphasize that the preparation of students should occur under intensive supervision.

In line with its mission to promote professionalism and quality assurance in counseling, EBCC collaborated with the Center for Credentialing and Education (CCE) to develop the CSP certification program. The program aims to equip helping professionals and paraprofessionals with the basic knowledge, skills and techniques of supervision. Members of many professions and fields seek certification as a CSP, including:
