The course represents the first step towards qualification as a Civil & Commercial Mediator and successful completion will result in certification as a mediator subject to undertaking the required observations. 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.
Delegates should note that the Civil Mediation Council currently require trainee mediators to undertake an assessed mediation ‘in person’ in order to meet their accreditation requirements. Such accreditation is not a necessity prior to entering practice however 218 Strand and the Society of Mediators will be offering additional ‘Assessment Days’ for those wishing to do so.
Who is this for?
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.

"A substantial, through and entertaining course... provided me with the important basics [and] broke down assumptions I had previously. The tutors were inspiring and kind and I really enjoyed the opportunity to learn with lovely new people from outside of my usual ‘tunnel’."

I know it has been over a month since we completed the course, but the more I reflect upon those 5 days, the more I realise their immense impact. This has been the most stimulating course I have done in over 3 years, and for that I cannot thank you enough. I just wanted to thank you for the time, and effort you and your lovely team put into the structure and content of the course. The skills you passed on were simply life-altering. This introduction to the world of mediation has greatly deepened my passion for ADR, and I am extremely excited to go further with this. I am looking forward to the next steps, and to hopefully learning more from you in the future.
