Benefits to you

 The trainers draw on their 15 years of mediation experience to address the essentials of mediation practice and offer tips for dealing with tricky situations.
 You can achieve a nationally recognised accreditation award.
 The trainers have a high success record with 90% - 100% of participants on each programme achieving an award.
 Accreditation can be obtained without essays or long reports since assessment is largely built around observing situations that mediators meet in practice.
 You will receive an essential guide to mediation practice to back up your learning, and telephone support is available for to you between the training days.
