Course Reviews

“This was sincerely the best supervisory class I've taken!”
     
Jennifer Uherek, Texas
“This course was so helpful! I am a new supervisor and had taken a 12 hour course through another provider that left me feeling a bit confused and overwhelmed. I loved the IDM that was presented as it helped me to have a better framework in understanding supervisees. I have technically met my CEU requirements at this point but I am going to sign up for the 15 hour course as I believe this information is so valuable. I love the way it was presented with clear information, helpful examples, and concrete ideas for supervision.”
     
Alexandra Phelps, California
“I was able to immediately use information learned with my supervisees and see my progress and theirs.”
