Best way to measure the confidence is authorized to do work and observe the activities related to work without interference while he/ she doing that activity. After completion of the work activities, point out the lacunae in privacy, not in front of other colleagues. Train them especially through role play, and again are called upon to do the same activities. Ultimately he/she will gain confidence. For this, we should follow the basic principles of supportive supervision i.e., guide, counsel and educate the trainee especially on the job.
Outcome mapping would be an alternative to set up goals and review changes/challenges through time
I am not aware of an instrument to measure your topic. However, it would be interesting if each clinical teaching program did an intensive study that involved both individuals in the programs and those who have graduated. The study should focus not just on whether the classes meet the standards or skills required by the credentialing agency but how these classes and skill sets promote personal and professional confidence in the counselor.
Hope you might be helping us move in this direction.
