“Conflict is neither good nor bad. Properly managed, it is absolutely vital.”

We believe that the key to developing mediation is to set, maintain and deliver quality standards that will allow mediators to achieve satisfactory results for clients. The Phoenix Mediation training programme is therefore designed to provide a truly transformative professional learning experience which is in equal part demanding, rigorous and rewarding. Explore this page to discover more about the course content, key benefits and our training team. Information on upcoming dates and bookings can be viewed at the bottom of this page.

A Unique Offering

Trainee feedback from other mediation courses indicates that post-course, participants are often left in the dark and let down about pathways into the profession, regulatory requirements and overall career development. We distinguish ourselves from the competition by focusing on not just providing an accredited qualification, but also equipping trainees with the commercial understanding that is crucial in properly utilising this qualification.
