What Coaching Supervision Academy Ltd does

Coaching Supervision Academy Ltd (CSA) is a UK-based private limited company founded in October 2005 by Edna Murdoch and Miriam Orriss. It operates as a professional education provider specializing in coaching supervision training, with the EMCC-accredited CSA Diploma in Coaching Supervision as its flagship product. The Diploma is a 12-month program combining 8 days of intensive attendance, 12 webinars, 6 tutorials, supervised practice with five supervisees, and written assessments, awarding 108.5 ICF CCEUs (77.5 Core Competencies, 31 Resource Development). CSA has continuously held EMCC ESQA accreditation since 2005 and ICF Approved Provider status, and currently delivers programs across six regional tracks: Americas, Asia Pacific, Greater China, France, Japan, and UK, including bilingual French/English and Chinese/English cohorts. The company's intellectual property centers on the proprietary CSA Full Spectrum Model of Coaching Supervision, developed over 16+ years and integrating Hawkins & Smith's 7-eyed model, Senge/Sharmer's Presence and U-theory, Time to Think, Appreciative Inquiry, and political/economic/cultural contextual awareness.

CSA's business model rests on multiple revenue streams: Diploma program delivery (pricing on enquiry), group supervision services priced at £100 per session or £600–750 per 6-session cycle offered by faculty, the Team Coaching Supervision Workshops at £1,075 per series, and digital learning products (Insight Film Series at £50+vat, Professional Educational Development Film Series at £60). Adjacent revenue includes faculty-authored publications, CPD webinars, the CSA Open Office Zoom drop-in service, and an alumni/community register. Distribution is direct via the global faculty network and an online storefront, with content marketing through the company website, YouTube channel, blog, and email newsletters driving top-of-funnel awareness. Customer segments are horizontal: experienced executive and business coaches seeking career progression, senior business leaders and HR/OD/L&D/change-management consultants integrating supervision into leadership practice, and existing supervisors pursuing accreditation and ongoing reflective practice.

The company is founder-led and bootstrapped, with no external funding rounds, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity disclosed. Leadership comprises the two co-founders, an Operations Manager/COO (Michael Smith), and a marketing contact (Sam Fremantle). The firm maintains UK GDPR compliance (privacy notice effective October 2020) and operates with a registered UK headquarters in London, while serving customers globally through its six regional faculty networks.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Coach U (ASPE): US-based coach training provider serving North American markets. Comparable in target buyer profile and ICF alignment, with some supervision content overlap.
• International Coach Academy (ICA): Australia-headquartered coaching training school serving similar experienced-coach buyers in Asia-Pacific, overlapping with CSA's regional delivery.

Direct peers

• Barefoot Coaching: UK coaching and supervision training school competing for the same experienced-coach buyer. Similar programme cadence, accreditation alignment, and price points to CSA.
• Meyler Campbell: UK-based executive coaching training provider that also offers coaching supervision pathways. Directly comparable in target buyer (experienced coaches seeking accreditation) and programme structure.
• Animas Centre for Coaching: UK-based coaching school offering coach training and coaching supervision programmes. Direct competitor in the same UK coaching supervision training category with overlapping faculty and buyer personas.

Broad incumbents

• Center for Creative Leadership (CCL): Global leadership development organisation with coaching and supervision-adjacent content. Comparable in senior-leader buyer persona but operates at much larger scale and broader scope.
• International Coaching Federation (ICF): Largest global coaching accreditation body whose CCEU and Approved Provider programmes define CSA's value. Indirect competitor via its own training pathways and the new CSQ credential.
• Hult Executive Education (formerly Ashridge): Broader executive education provider offering coaching and leadership development programmes. Overlaps in buyer (senior leaders, HR/L&D) but competes as a generalist incumbent rather than specialist.
• European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC): Accreditation body that defines the standards CSA's Diploma meets. Sets the ESQA framework and indirectly competes by signalling alternative accredited programmes to buyers.

Emerging players

• Performance Consultants International: Coaching and team coaching supervision training provider with overlapping buyer personas. Comparable in supervision training content but less globally distributed than CSA.
