Trust through clarity
Know what a profile says. Know what it does not.
The short version
- We organize the information.
- We label what is not provided.
- You confirm what matters now.
How we present information
Four principles behind every profile.
Structured consistently
The same practical categories are presented across profiles so people can compare without decoding a different format every time.
Missing stays missing
When a detail has not been provided, STEP does not infer it from similar profiles or fill the gap with a likely answer.
Claims stay attributable
Descriptions of approach, experience and services are presented as information supplied by or publicly associated with the supervisor.
Current details get confirmed
Availability, fees, delivery and eligibility can change. Profiles support discovery; direct confirmation supports a decision.
The profile model
Useful details, in a predictable place.
Consistent categories make differences easier to see while leaving room for a supervisor to describe their own work.
- Professional identity
- Name, pronouns when supplied, designations and the regulator or professional body shown in the source information.
- Supervision practice
- Approach, formats, professional stages supported and areas a supervisor says they can work with.
- Practical arrangements
- Location, virtual or in-person delivery, fee information, session length and availability when provided.
- Contact route
- The public method the supervisor identifies for initial inquiries.
What to confirm directly
The details that can change—or depend on you.
- Current availability and wait time
- Fees, taxes, invoicing and cancellation terms
- Format, frequency and session length
- Supervisor eligibility for your specific purpose
- Experience relevant to your work and learning goals
- Confidentiality, records and communication expectations
STEP does not determine regulatory eligibility.
CRPO and other applicable regulators determine whether requirements are met. A listing on STEP does not mean a supervisor or arrangement will be accepted for registration purposes.
