I’d recommend the course to anyone who is considering being a Mediator
Phoenix were incredibly helpful and easy to work with – nothing was too much trouble for them. I found the 5 weekly sessions easier to accommodate within my practice than taking a whole week out. The course materials were of a high-quality, and the trainer was very knowledgeable, patient and clear in her presentation. I would recommend them to anyone thinking of training as a mediator.
Phoenix ran a professional mediation course which was tailored to my and those of the other Counsels in my set. The trainer was extremely professional and well organised and the course ran extremely smoothly

Our standard mediation training course initiates trainees with different kinds of disputes including civil/commercial, work-place, family and inheritance. Accordingly, trainees from any background can use the course to specialize as mediators in their respective fields or choose to develop a more general practice.
Yes. At present, there is no uniform regulatory scheme governing the practice of mediation, and, unlike other professions, such as law or medicine, there is no formal licensing or credentialing of mediators. However, the Dispute Resolution Program Act (DRPA) California underlines minimum educational and training standards for mediators. Similarly, different court programs provide their own requirements.
This course complies with all DRPA training requirements including the length of the training and necessary content. It also fulfills training requirements for individual court programs.
Each court program in California provides its own requirements for mediators. Once you have completed the Phoenix Training Program, you will fulfill all necessary training requirements. Experiential requirements vary between courts but usually consist of the mediator to have completed anywhere between two to ten mediations as a mediator or co-mediations of at least 2-hours length.
