MEDIATION is a process of conflict resolution that facilitates the communication between people and helps those in conflict understand the other person’s point of view.

This intensive 3 day course of Mediation Training is for professionals who wish to learn the skills required for creative conflict resolution i.e. to develop knowledge and techniques of mediation which will be useful in your present job.

Please note that in order to become an accredited mediator you will need to complete a further three days (six days in total). Check out our course dates and click here to check out our frequently asked questions.

The course also allows a deeper understanding of how conflict occurs and how the language we use can affect others.

Those completing the course will be able to mediate in a range of situations including; Family, Parent/Adolescent, Workplace, Neighbourhood disputes and Restorative Justice Mediation *(new).
