What will I learn?

  • Discover what mediation is and how it can be used.
  • Understand the essential principles and rules for safe practice.
  • Explore the skills and tools necessary to be a successful mediator.
  • Practice and develop new skills in a safe supportive environment.
  • Learn from the real-life experience of practicing mediators.
  • Gain a globally recognised qualification for a new profession.

This exceptional course offers everything at a Foundation level for the civil and commercial mediator.  The feedback is legendary, and it is priced at less than 50%  of comparable alternatives because as a Charity we do not take a profit - we just fund our costs and our charitable activities in the UK such as the Free Mediation Project and our international outreach in southern Africa.  This means when training online or outside London our fees are reduced to just £800 for the week  Our educational activities are also VAT-exempt (zero-rated) so this offers and additional saving. 


Who is this for?

This foundation course, taught by experienced practicing mediators, represents the first step towards qualification as a Civil & Commercial Mediator and is accredited by the Civil Mediation Council, the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, and the Bar Council, amongst others. Successful completion will result in certification as a mediator subject to undertaking the three SOM required observations.  CMC requirements differ. 

Delegates will undertake both theory and practical elements during this intensive, week-long course and will be required to undergo both an assessed simulated mediation and written examination.

This course is suitable for anyone who has an interest in learning more about mediation, whether they intend to practice as a mediator themselves or simply use the skills learned within their own existing roles. No previous knowledge or understanding of alternative dispute resolution or the law is required as all essential elements will be covered on the course.
