The Trainers

Frequently Asked Questions

Successful completion of the training and associated assessments will result in you becoming a certified and accredited mediator. There are three bodies with whom you can achieve accreditation:

 

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 and Australia 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.

Some key trainer profiles can be viewed above. 

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. It typically costs £1,199.99 plus VAT for professionals to attend the course online. Under a special student discount for the University of Law, the course is available for £500 (plus VAT) to all of its students.
