ISSP-R Supervisor
The content below describes the application route for professional sport psychologists interested in ISSP-R Supervisor 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 programmes. Such neophyte practitioners must be supervised by appropriately trained professionals in our industry. In order to gain status of ISSP-R Supervisor 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
