Why train virtually?
-
Save time and costs
Classroom learning usually comes with a range of associated costs including travelling and sometimes accommodation. Virtual learning avoids these extra costs, offering best value for money spent.
-
A quality learning experience
By utilising cutting-edge software currently used by higher education institutes, we deliver the highest quality user experience in a virtual setting and make no compromises on our standard.
-
Productive working from home
As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to impact our lives and cancel appointments in our diaries, professionals working from home have the opportunity to use lost time productively by gaining an invaluable professional qualification.
-
Convenient
As a virtual learner, you no longer have to concern yourself with anything other than learning. You can learn from where you want, without worrying about logistics, travelling, accommodation and parking.

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.
