Mediation Training:

With CPD Seminars, mediation training is an exciting and demanding combination of lecturing, reading materials, hands-on learning, feedback and de-briefing, before ending with a short written exam (taken after advanced course).

The mediation courses content includes the following:

• Introduction to mediation
• Misconceptions on mediation
• Types of mediation
• The six negotiation contexts
• Achieving satisfaction in negotiation
• Planning, and preparation for strategic negotiations
• Mediation as an extension of the negotiation process
• Mediation process
• Mediators techniques and strategies
• The skillful mediator
• Live mediation

Furthermore, participants will be faced with increasingly more demanding role-plays based on real life mediation situations including:

• Varied commercial disputes
• Neighbour disputes
• Employment disputes
• Personal injury disputes
• Multi-party disputes
• Private disputes such as school/parent
• Varied contractual disputes

.

There are two separate short mediation courses (which require booking separately):

.

• Mediation Foundation Course (Two Days Course)

“Learn the basic skills of the mediator and attain a greater understanding of the mediation process”

This course can be taken on its own without progressing to accreditation with the 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 Mediation Foundation Course equips participants with the basic 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.

CPD credits in mediation – 20 hours.

.

• Mediation Advanced Course (Two Days Course)

“Hone your new mediation skills and learn to apply them effectively to complex mediation situations” – leads to accreditation.

The Mediation Advanced Course takes the training up a gear and is a further 20 hours of professional mediation training. This course, upon successful completion, leads to accreditation with Mediation Forum Ireland and is designed for those participants who wish to develop a career in mediation and those who wish to master the skills of the mediator. The Mediation Advanced Course presents participants with more demanding mediation situations including dealing with troublesome parties to the mediation, finding the zone of potential agreement, managing difficult multi-party mediation and how to strategically use the caucus mechanism.

CPD credits in mediation – 20 hours.

Mediation Accreditation:

Only after participants have completed both the Foundation and Advanced courses will the take home exam be handed out. Participants will be expected to rely on the skills and notes they have been given throughout the course to pass this final test. The exam is marked by the course lecturer Paulyn Marrinan Quinn and also by external examiners.

Successful completion of this exam will enable participants to practice as an accredited mediator and, if they so choose, to have practitioner access to the Mediation Forum Ireland website.
