Foundations of Advance Clinical Supervision (FACS)
Built on an NBCC-approved curriculum, FACS equips experienced clinicians with the specialized skills, professional identity, and ethical framework required for effective clinical supervision–because excellence in counseling does not automatically translate into excellence in clinical supervision.
Advance your professional impact. Strengthen your leadership. Supervise with confidence.
The Foundations of Advanced Clinical Supervision (FACS) is a comprehensive online program developed by Divine Mercy University (DMU) to meet the rigorous educational requirements for clinicians pursuing the prestigious Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) credential. Designed for experienced professionals ready to step into advanced supervisory roles, FACS provides the knowledge, skills, and professional identity formation essential for excellence in clinical supervision.
Created by DMU and delivered through an NBCC-approved curriculum, FACS aligns supervisors with the highest industry and ethical standards while equipping them to guide, mentor, and form the next generation of clinicians.
Why Choose FACS?
Whether you are pursuing the ACS credential, expanding your professional scope, or strengthening your supervisory practice, Foundations of Advanced Clinical Supervision offers a trusted, mission-driven pathway to advanced leadership in clinical practice.
Meet Industry Standards
Developed by Divine Mercy University, the FACS Curriculum is NBCC-approved and intentionally aligned with professional identity, best practices, and national supervision standards.
A Clear Pathway to ACS Credentialing
The program is designed to help participants meet the stringent educational guidelines established by the Center for Credentialing and Education (CCE)-the premier credentialing body affiliated with the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC).
Elevate Professional Growth
FACS supports qualified clinicians across multiple disciplines by offering meaningful continuing education while fostering advanced supervisory competence and leadership development.
Specialized Supervision Training
Clinical Supervision is a distinct and specialized discipline. Success as a counselor does not automatically translate into a success as a supervisor. FACS addresses this gap by providing focused preparation in supervisory skills, awareness, and ethical responsibility.
A Comprehensive Formation Experience
The FACS program consists of ten integrated modules, all of which must be successfully completed. Together, they offer a cohesive and practical formation experience that equips clinicians to supervise with clarity, confidence and professional excellence.
