References

To help select suitable applicants, the following references will also be taken up:

  • your HG Diploma Part 2 & 3 tutors (where possible) – we will ask about your contribution to the course and your HG Diploma exam result
  • your current and any previous HG supervisor/s – we will ask about your use of supervision and the supervisor’s judgement of your suitability to become an HG supervisor.

Next steps

An initial assessment of your suitability for the course will follow receipt of the above by the HG College. If successful, you will be invited for an online interview.

You will then be notified by the college whether you have successfully gained a place on this training. We will endeavour to let you know as soon as possible.

Please note

Submission of an application does not guarantee that you will automatically be accepted on to the training and the decision of Human Givens College is final. There will be further supervisor-tutor training opportunities in the future if you feel that now is not the right time for you to make this commitment or if you are unsuccessful in your application this time.

Further information

There are a maximum of 12 places on the course. If you are accepted, a deposit of £500 must be paid to secure your place, and the full fees must be settled before you attend.

Successful graduates of the course will be required to register with the HGI as an accredited HG Supervisor, which involves paying an annual fee (currently £110) to cover supervisor CPD and registration.

If you have any questions, please contact your supervisor in the first instance.


The course will take place in Leeds in two blocks of 3 days each, as follows:

Part 1:  Thurs 20th – Saturday 22nd April 2023
Part 2:  Thurs 29th June – Saturday 1st July 2023

This course typically runs once every 18–24 months.
