ICF 对教练督导的定义
《ICF Coaching Supervision Competency Model》(2024 年 9 月)的定义:“Coaching supervision is a dynamic and reflective process of collaboration, guidance and support through which coaches develop their personal, professional, and ethical capacity and maturity.”
本站译文:教练督导是一种动态的、反思性的协作、指导与支持过程,教练借此发展个人、专业和伦理方面的能力与成熟度。
同一文件说明,督导主要关注教练的“self”(自我)、教练工作的质量与影响,以及教练与更大情境和系统的关系。
ICF 教练督导页的描述:督导是教练与受过训练的督导者进行反思性对话的协作过程。

督导的用途
ICF 导师教练与督导要求页列出的督导益处(本站概括):
- 伦理保障:在安全、保密的空间处理棘手情境和伦理困境;
- 个人反思:反思自己的情绪、偏见和假设;
- 改善客户成果:通过回顾客户个案,更好地支持客户、处理困难情境;
- 增强信心:对自己的决定、方法和行为更有信心;
- 支持与身心状态:提供情绪疏解的空间,减少压力和孤立感。
ICF 教练督导页引用研究称,督导可以提升自我觉察和信心、增强客观性和应变资源、减少孤立感。
ICF 认证页面说明,督导采用真实个案讨论和建设性反馈。

督导与导师教练的区别
ICF 的说法一致:导师教练聚焦于对照 ICF 核心能力打磨教练技能;督导的视角更宽、更整体。
ICF 教练督导页写明,督导不仅关注教练做了什么,也关注教练是谁、如何呈现自己。
ICF 督导能力页写明,督导会进一步引导教练反思自己的身份认同和伦理成熟度。
《Coaching Supervision Competency Model》称:“Mentor coaching focuses more on the skill development of the coach.”(本站译文:导师教练更侧重教练的技能发展。)同一文件指出,教练技能与教练的“自我”无法分开,两者相辅相成。
导师教练的定义、时数和导师资格,见《ICF 导师教练与 MCS 专项认证》,本文不重复。

认证申请:督导不计入
ICF 教练督导页写明,首次申请 ICF 证书不要求督导。
申请 ACC、PCC、MCC 时,只有导师教练计入认证要求,督导不计入。
督导时数也不算作客户教练时数(见《ICF 导师教练与 MCS 专项认证》)。
ACTC 团队教练认证另有要求:5 小时教练督导或有指导的反思实践,对象为受过教练督导训练的教练。详见《ICF 团队教练标准与 ACTC》。

ICF 对选择督导者的说明
《Coaching Supervision Competency Model》建议潜在的被督导者了解多位督导者和不同督导方式,确认督导者的框架、方法和价值观符合自己及相关方的需要。
ICF 督导能力页写明,该能力模型帮助教练了解督导中可以期待什么,并据此选择督导者。
ICF CSS 介绍页称,CSS 让教练在选择符合 ICF 期望的督导者时更有把握,也让督导者所受的专门训练更透明。
查找督导者:
- ICF 教练督导页写明,目前没有专门的督导者名录,可在 ICF Find a Coach 工具中输入“supervisor”搜索;
- CSS 持有者将列入 ICF Coaching Supervisor Registry(督导者名录);ICF 续证指南(2026 年 9 月修订)称该名录预计 2026 年底上线。
ICF 未说明面谈时应提出哪些问题,也未给出评估督导者的具体清单。

Coaching Supervision According to ICF: Definition, Purpose, Renewal Credit and Supervisor Requirements
ICF 教练督导:定义、用途、续证学分与督导者要求
Who this is for: ACC, PCC and MCC holders who receive or provide coaching supervision and want to use those hours for renewal.
What it covers: ICF's definition and stated purpose of supervision, how it differs from mentor coaching, how supervision hours count for applications and renewal, supervisor requirements from 1 January 2027, the CSS, and ICF's guidance on choosing a supervisor. For mentor coaching and the MCS, see our article 09; for renewal in general, see article 04.
Definition
The ICF Coaching Supervision Competency Model (September 2024): "Coaching supervision is a dynamic and reflective process of collaboration, guidance and support through which coaches develop their personal, professional, and ethical capacity and maturity." It primarily focuses on the "self" of the coach, the quality and impact of their work, and how they relate to wider contexts and systems.
Purpose
ICF lists ethical assurance, personal reflection, improved client outcomes, increased confidence, and support and well-being. Supervision uses real-life case discussions and constructive feedback.
Supervision and mentor coaching
Mentor coaching fine-tunes skills against the ICF Core Competencies; supervision takes a broader, more holistic view, looking at who the coach is and how they show up, including identity and ethical maturity. See article 09 for mentor coaching rules.
Credential applications
Supervision is not required for an initial ICF credential, and only mentor coaching counts toward the requirements. Supervision hours are not client coaching hours. The ACTC requires five hours of supervision or guided reflective practice with a coach trained in coaching supervision (see article 13).
Renewal credit
For ACC, PCC and MCC renewal: up to 10 hours of coaching supervision per cycle, received, delivered or both, individual or group, counted as Core Competency CCE. PCC and MCC holders may also count up to 10 hours of mentor coaching separately. Record the other party's name and email, start and end dates, and total hours. ICF recommends keeping CCE records for six months after submission.
Supervisor requirements from 1 January 2027
Hours completed on or before 31 December 2026 may be with any supervisor, including hours from an engagement that began before 1 January 2027. New hours from that date used for ACC, PCC or MCC renewal must be with a supervisor who holds the ICF CSS or a supervision accreditation from another coaching or coaching supervision professional body. For ACTC renewal, the supervisor must also hold the ACTC or a team coaching credential from another body.
The CSS
The Coaching Supervisor Specialization recognises specialised education in coaching supervision; there is no exam. Eligibility: an active PCC or MCC (holders of an advanced credential from another globally recognised body are asked to contact ICF support about eligibility); at least 41 hours of supervision education, at least 50% synchronous, aligned with the ICF Coaching Supervision Competencies; and, to supervise ACTC candidates, an ACTC or other team coaching credential. The competencies cover four domains and eight competencies: Foundation (1 Provides Ethical Guidance; 2 Engages in Ongoing Reflection and Self-Care), Process Structure (3 Establishes and Updates Contracts; 4 Manages the Supervision Process), Client Learning & Reflection (5 Creates a Supportive Environment; 6 Facilitates Client Reflection; 7 Guides Client Development) and Group Supervision (8 Manages Group Supervision). For CSS renewal, see article 04.
Choosing a supervisor
The Competency Model recommends reviewing a variety of supervisors and approaches to check that their frameworks, approaches and values fit the client's and stakeholders' needs. ICF says the model helps coaches know what to expect and select a supervisor, and that the CSS gives greater confidence in selecting a supervisor who meets ICF expectations. ICF's supervision page says there is no dedicated directory yet and suggests searching "supervisor" in Find a Coach; CSS holders will be listed in the ICF Coaching Supervisor Registry, which the renewal guide (revised September 2026) expects to launch in late 2026.
Not stated by ICF
- Whether supervision can replace the 10 hours of mentor coaching required for ACC renewal.
- Which other professional bodies' supervision accreditations qualify.
- A maximum group size for group supervision.
- Specific questions or a checklist for assessing a supervisor.
