AEDP® Supervisor Review Board
The AEDP® Institute is pleased to introduce a refined certification review process, led by our Supervisor Review Board. This initiative is designed to strengthen and support the certification journey while reflecting AEDP’s core values of rigor, transparency, and relational care.
The Supervisor Review Board plays an integral role in overseeing certification reviews, bringing greater consistency and thoughtfulness to the process.
What this means for candidates and the community
Clearer structure and timelines
Submission deadlines and decision dates are clearly outlined, allowing candidates to plan their application process with greater ease and confidence.
Collaborative review process
Reviewers work together rather than in isolation, consulting with one another and making decisions as a group. This fosters thoughtful dialogue and shared responsibility in the evaluation process.
Individualized, development-focused feedback
Each candidate is discussed with care and attention to their professional growth. Feedback is provided privately to candidates and their supervisors, offering guidance for continued development.
Consistency and transparency
The standardized format ensures a more unified review process while creating space for professional discussion and reflection among reviewers.
Communication of decisions
Certification outcomes (“pass” or “resubmit”) are shared privately with candidates and their supervisors, along with detailed feedback to support ongoing growth. Confirmed certifications are announced to the community, allowing members to celebrate and connect.
The board meets quarterly to review applications and confirm newly Certified Supervisors based on their demonstrated expertise.
Application deadlines for 2026
Candidates who apply before will receive the review committee’s response by January 15th , 2026 March 30th 2026 April 10th, 2026 June 30th , 2026 July 10th, 2026 September 30th , 2026 October 10th , 2026 December 30th, 2026
