What Ohio Requires for the Training Supervision Designation

Under OAC 4757-17-01(I), the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board grants the training supervision designation to licensed professional clinical counselors (LPCCs) who document at least twenty-four hours of academic coursework or board-approved continuing education in counselor supervision, with six hours in each of four areas: assessment, evaluation, and remediation; counselor development; management and administration; and professional responsibilities, including ethical, legal, and regulatory issues.

The rule also requires clinical experience after LPCC licensure, including observing training supervision sessions, and three hours of continuing professional education in supervision to maintain the designation.

This course provides the twenty-four hours of supervision training, organized around those four content areas. You apply to the board for the designation, and the board makes the final decision.

Tools you'll use with real supervisees
You'll get an optional supervision contract activity, step-by-step guidance for building your supervision plan, and a remediation plan template, plus guidance on recruiting and onboarding supervisees.
A plan for every budget
Basic, Pro, and Elite share the same 24-hour course. The higher plans add continuing education, resources, and ongoing support after you graduate.
Confidence to lead
Many new supervisors start out unsure. The course gives you a structured framework for evaluation, feedback, and difficult conversations, so you're prepared when supervision gets complicated.
Support after you graduate
Supervision can feel isolating at first. Pro and Elite graduates have community and ongoing support, so you have people to ask during your first year of supervising.

What to Look for in an Ohio Supervisor Training

Ohio’s rule sets four content areas with at least six hours each, so it’s worth checking how a course covers them before you enroll. Questions worth asking any provider:

Does the course provide at least twenty-four hours, with six hours in each of Ohio’s four content areas?
Is the provider an NBCC Approved Continuing Education Provider?
Who teaches the course, and do they hold supervisor status?
Will you leave with practical documents and templates you can use with supervisees?
Is multicultural supervision covered throughout the course?
Does it cover the practical side of supervising, like recruiting and onboarding supervisees?
What support is available during the course and after you graduate?
Does it include continuing education you may need after you become a supervisor?

An optional supervision contract activity that spells out what you expect from supervisees and what they can expect from you
Step-by-step guidance for building your supervision plan
An accountability framework that turns your contract and plan into clear, trackable expectations
A remediation plan template and procedures for addressing supervisee performance concerns clearly and consistently
Supervision session ideas, so you always know what to cover
The business of supervising: recruiting, interviewing, and onboarding supervisees
Twenty-four hours of counselor supervision training, mapped to Ohio’s four required content areas
A certificate showing 24 NBCC CE hours
An anti-racist foundation built into every module
Research-driven content from Dr. Walker, a counselor educator who speaks, consults, and publishes on clinical supervision
A weekly live virtual study hall with instructors and curriculum specialists, included with every plan
Pro and Elite: immediate access to the Step It Up membership (one year with Pro, lifetime with Elite), including weekly live group coaching, unlimited supervisor, ethics, and multicultural CEs, on-demand trainings and webinar replays, and monthly consultation groups

What Participants Say

"What I love the most about the course is just how engaging it is, how it really makes you think, how well prepared I feel to be a supervisor... I love this course. It was recommended to me and I recommend it to anyone who wants to be a supervisor."

Course participant, July 2026

"The ability to reach out and talk with Kate and the optional weekly Study Halls... The content really made you think about what you would do and the best way to approach your job as gatekeeper for the profession. I also liked the fact that once completed, I had a supervision contract and a document that I can use for orientation of new supervisees."

LaTonya Hendricks, course graduate, April 2023

Am I Eligible to Take This Course?

Licensed mental health professionals, including LPCs and LPCCs, can take this course, and your certificate doesn't expire. In Ohio, only LPCCs can apply for the training supervision designation.

To earn the training supervision designation in Ohio, the rule also requires:

An Ohio LPCC license

At least one year and 1,500 hours of clinical experience after LPCC licensure, including diagnosing and treating mental and emotional disorders, and observing five training supervision sessions with a supervisor-designated LPCC followed by a review session

Once you meet these requirements, you apply to the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board, including the board’s form documenting your familiarity with legal, ethical, and clinical issues in supervision. The board makes the final decision on the designation.

If I finish this program, am I automatically a supervisor?

No. This course provides the twenty-four hours of counselor supervision training Ohio requires. To earn the training supervision designation, you also meet the board’s experience and documentation requirements and apply to the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board, which makes the final decision.

Does this course meet Ohio’s 24-hour supervision training requirement?

This course provides 24 hours of NBCC-approved continuing education in clinical supervision, organized around the four content areas in OAC 4757-17-01(I), with six hours in each. Ohio’s board treats programs from NBCC Approved Continuing Education Providers as approved continuing education. Confirm current requirements with the board before enrolling.

Does this course cover all four Ohio content areas?

Yes. The syllabus maps each lesson hour to one Ohio content area, six hours each: assessment, evaluation, and remediation; counselor development; management and administration; and professional responsibilities, including ethical, legal, and regulatory issues.

Can this course count toward maintaining my supervision designation?

Ohio’s rule requires three hours of continuing professional education in supervision to maintain the designation. This course is focused on clinical supervision. Confirm with the board how it applies to your renewal.

How many CE hours does this course provide?

Participants who complete the course receive a certificate showing 24 NBCC CE hours. Check with your licensing board to confirm how these hours apply to you.

Can you guarantee the board will grant me the designation?

No. The Ohio board has final say. If you are missing experience or transferring from another state, the board may have additional requirements, and rule updates can change what the board requires.

This course is online but do I ever get to talk to an instructor and ask questions?

Yes. Instructors and curriculum specialists attend a weekly live virtual study hall on Zoom, where you can ask questions and talk through course concepts. This is included with every plan.

Are there payment plans?

Yes. Payment plans are available for every plan and are built into checkout. Just choose the payment plan option when you enroll.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept major credit cards, Amazon Pay, Link, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.

Is there a deadline to complete the course?

This is a self-paced course with no mandatory completion deadline. Certificates show the date you begin the course and the date you complete it. Courses are updated annually, so participants are encouraged to finish within one year of purchase.

If I don't finish the entire 24 hours, can I get partial CE credit?

No. You will receive one completion certificate when the entire course is finished.

This course was created in Texas. Will that affect my Ohio application?

No. You may see occasional references to Texas examples, and all essential supervision competencies are covered in full. The 24 hours are NBCC-approved continuing education in clinical supervision.

What do I do with my certificate once I finish?

Download the official certificate from the last lesson of the course. That PDF is the one to use for your designation; the automatic certificate the course platform emails is not. When you apply to the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board, follow the board’s current application instructions for documenting your 24 hours of training.

Clinical Supervisor Training Is All We Do

Our goal is to be your central hub for supervision tools, training, and practical next steps, long after you finish the course.

Ohio’s rule (OAC 4757-17-01(I)) requires twenty-four hours of counselor supervision training, six hours in each of four content areas, for the training supervision designation.
