Advanced Mediation Skills
Raising and Maintaining Standards in Practice
6 hours
This exciting and dynamic course is ideal for mediators who are either well established in their practice or who have completed a number of independent mediations - and now feel ready to learn new skills and competencies, whilst reflecting on their practice so far. The programme is intensive, yet gives time to think, reflect and engage with colleagues across the profession.

Course Code: 202
Learning Outcomes Include:
Building on existing skills and developing fluency in techniques such as reality testing and reframing as well as the use of reflective language and active listening. Delegates are encouraged to consider their own practice and identify areas in which they might make improvements, including how they might best support inclusivity and avoid the potential for unconscious bias within their mediations.
Delegates are encouraged to bring an issue they have actually encountered in a mediation that they would be prepared to share, in a confidential environment, with fellow delegates. The purpose being, to learn through others, in a shared way, in sessions led by highly experienced mediators.
Who is this for?
Designed for those who have previously trained and have been practicing as mediators, this course assumes a working knowledge of mediation and is therefore unlkely to be suitable for those that are entirely new to the subject.
This course provides 6 hours CPD.

"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.
