Frequently Asked Questions

Successful completion of the training and associated assessments will result in students becoming certified and accredited mediators. There are three bodies with which accreditation is achieved:

 

a) The International Mediation Institute (IMI)

b) The Civil Mediation Council (CMC)

c) The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb)

Cross-jurisdictional qualification in the United States will also be made available to successful trainees.

All of our trainers are highly experienced and regularly mediate complex disputes within their respective fields. The trainers come from varying backgrounds within mediation and the legal profession. Most of our trainers also have university lecturing experience.

The course is forty hours long and delivered over three different formats. The three formats are as follows: 

  • 5-day intensive course, full-day sessions everyday
  • 5-week course, full-day sessions every Friday
  • 8-week weekend course, half-day sessions every Saturday

 

All courses are delivered online. The content and methodology of the online training is however exactly the same as in-person training. The students attend all the sessions together and the course is highly dynamic and interactive. Around 60% of the training consists of practical roleplay exercises where students engage in a simulated mediation and receive feedback on their performance from coaches. The theory lectures also engage students in live discussion in the same way as an in-person lecture would. 

The PDSL Mediation Training Course is internationally recognised for its high quality and academic rigour. The price of the course is £1,199.99. 

Delegates can choose to make their payment for the course over three monthly instalments. You will be required to pay an initial deposit of £400 at the point of reservation, after which you will receive an invoice for two remaining instalments of £400.

Reservations are made using the bookings section at the bottom of this page.
