Mediation Training Course

Course Detail

We have developed a completely new Mediator Training and Accreditation Course designed to accelerate your learning and rapidly build a very high level of knowledge, skill and experience so that you are both COMPETENT and CONFIDENT to mediate in a variety of situations, including complex multi-party and highly emotive cases.

This intensive Training Course is delivered in two modules, Days 1-5 comprising the Mediator Training Course and, on Days 6 and 7, Assessment for those wishing to achieve Accreditation. To enable consolidation of learning and to optimise your chances of success in achieving Accredited Mediator Status, Days 1-3 and 4&5 of the Mediator Training take place on consecutive weeks, with the optional Assessment following shortly thereafter. A separate and completely independent Panel of Assessors will determine the level of skill and competence achieved on completion and whether Accredited Mediator Status has been achieved.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I have to book the Mediator Training Course and Accreditation Assessment Days at the same time?

Days 1 - 5 of the Mediator Training Course must be taken together

If you wish to achieve Accredited Mediator status, it is preferable to book and attend the Accreditation Assessment Days as part of the total package as the timing of these two days is designed to ensure that the Mediator Training is still fresh.

What if I want to apply for Accreditation at a later stage?

If you decide later to apply for Accredited Mediator status, you may do so. If a considerable amount of time has passed since you attended the Mediator Training Course, you may prefer to re-attend days 4 and 5.

What if I've already been trained as a Mediator?

If you have attended another mediator training course (but see below) and if the Institute is satisfied that your course covered equivalent skills and learning to the Institute's course, it may be possible to attend days 4 and 5 only, before attending the Accreditation Assessment days.

Will I be included on the CIArb Panel of Mediators?

If you are successful in achieving Accredited Mediator status and gaining some practical experience, you may apply for interview for a place on the CIArb Panel of Mediators, subject to the criteria set out below.
