ISSP-R (ISSP-S) Supervisor status
The content below describes the application route for professional sport psychologists interested in ISSP-R Supervisor (ISSP-S) status. This is an important role in terms of providing supervision to young practitioners seeking ISSP-R status having completed their Masters degree education or being mentored during extensive independent placements as part of two-year MSc programs. Appropriately trained professionals in our industry must supervise such neophyte practitioners. To gain the status of ISSP-S, you will need to personally submit a portfolio to demonstrate meeting the required standards of the role. This portfolio will establish evidence of knowledge, experience, professional activity, and underpinning philosophy in relation to providing supervision services to neophyte and/or more established practitioners
Here, you will see two categories that pertain to the overall processes and routeways of ISSP-R Approved Supervisor (ISSP-S). Please click on each for further information beyond the summary that is provided here

Such individuals should qualify to meet the criteria for the ISSP-Registry as a practitioner and are encouraged to apply for ISSP-R and ISSP-R Approved Supervisor status simultaneously if they meet the required criteria as both practitioner and supervisor.
