About the Course
A structured, practical training programme combining theory, demonstrations, and hands-on mediation exercises. Participants progress from core skills to conducting a full mediation, learning how to:
- Prepare and manage the end-to-end mediation process.
- Facilitate effective communication between conflicting parties.
- Handle high-stakes private meetings.
- Support collaborative negotiation and final settlement.
The mediator is trained strictly as an impartial facilitator — not a decision-maker or advisor.

Practical Learning Approach

- Feedback Loops: Continuous peer and expert trainer development reviews.

To ensure professional-grade competency, benchmarks are set via two distinct evaluations:
- Written Assignment: Completed during Week 4 to evaluate theoretical understanding.
- Practical Assessment: A live mediation simulation evaluated during Week 5.
Focus is strictly placed on safe, impartial, and effective mediation — not on forcing a settlement.
