The 2-Day Introduction to Mediation Course is the path towards becoming a fully fledged mediator.
The next step after the 2-Day Course is the 5-Day Advanced Mediation Skills Training Course, where you will be accredited as a mediator, if you pass the assessment on Day 5. This advanced training will provide you with the comprehensive skills and knowledge necessary to become a certified mediator, empowering you to facilitate successful resolutions in a variety of contexts.
The Introduction to Mediation Skills Training Course is an intensive two-day course designed to enhance your understanding of mediation.
You will learn hands-on and effective techniques of managing and resolving conflicts, and improving your communication and interpersonal skills.
This course is highly interactive and includes active engagement in role plays and activities for the development of soft skills, which are essential for mediation.
