“Learn the basic skills of the mediator and attain a greater understanding of the mediation process.”
What is Mediation? How can it help me and my business?
In a mediation procedure the Mediator is a neutral independent person who acts as a facilitator who helps the parties to reach
a mutually satisfactory settlement of their dispute. Any settlement terms reached can be signed and recorded in an enforceable
contract. Mediation is an efficient and cost-effective way of achieving a fair outcome while preserving, and at times even enhancing,
the relationship, business and personal, of the parties.
Mediation Foundation Course Overview
This course can be taken on its own without progressing to accreditation with the Mediation Advanced Course.
Over two days participants will undertake 20 hours of professional mediation training affording them the opportunity to act as a mediator and to learn all the basic principles required to run an effective mediation conference.
The Foundation Course equips participants with the basic mediation skills and techniques necessary for running a mediation conference whilst simultaneously providing participants an insight into the different types of common mediation situations.
This course is perfectly suited to those wishing to gain a greater understanding of the mediation process without necessarily aspiring to practice as a mediator.
Following successful completion of Part I, there are optional, additional advanced mediation training where participants will undertake an examination leading to accreditation.
The Advanced Course is supplementary to the Foundation Course and must be booked separately.
