“This Course is an outstanding Mediation Training resource. The level of teaching input and back up in terms of the learning materials is first class. I would not hesitate to recommend the PDSL / Phoenix Mediation Course to other Barristers.”
I gained a real insight into how mediation can work and how to be a mediator. Great course. Helpful staff. Worth the money.

It was a very interesting and challenging 5 days and it has opened my eyes to the world of mediation and I am looking forward to promoting my mediation practice. The administrative support provided during the course was faultless'
