Practicum Programs | Phoenix Dispute Solutions

After becoming a mediator, the next step for most trainees is to attend an apprenticeship or practicum with qualified mentors to continue development and gain hands-on experience. In most practicums trainees start by observing several mediations, and then move on to co-mediate with their mentors.
