Bristol Mediation is offering a new training programme in mediation and conflict resolution skills. This is a unique opportunity to benefit from our highly valued training. The training begins in April 2011 and will take place at a Bristol venue.

This course is offered at a low cost or free to people willing to volunteer their skills with Bristol Mediation. However these spaces are limited so this will depend upon your personal circumstances.

There are also a number of places available to people who want these skills for work or other areas of their lives and aren’t able to volunteer with Bristol Mediation; this is on a fee-paying basis.

If you are interested then please email us for an information pack on info@bristol-mediation.org or telephone us on 0117 9415379. Alternatively an application pack can be downloaded from our website: www.bristol-mediation.org
