Commercial Mediation Training

The courses shown below comprise the Mediation Training Programme run by The Academy. They consist of two parts - the qualifying course (Modules 1-5), and assessment. For those already qualified The Academy offers advanced training courses.

As a skills development course the Academy's Mediation Training is an excellent way of enhancing your general knowledge and understanding of human interactions and negotiation at the same time as gaining an additional, practical and marketable skill.

The course is not aimed at any one profession. Unlike many other training organisations, the Academy's Register is completely multi-disciplinary with no one group dominating the list. As a non-legal process there is no requirement to be a lawyer (although a basic understanding of the law is useful and is covered in the course) and the majority of Academy trained Mediators are Experts and other professionals which include lawyers.

An interesting article by a former attendee of the course is available here.

Those who successfully complete the course and pass the assessment become eligible for entry to The Academy's Register of Qualified Dispute Resolvers  available to Solicitors and the Legal Profession. Once on the register those qualifying gain the qualification QDR (Qualified Dispute Resolver). The Academy is a member of the Civil Mediation Council and is an accredited CMC Mediation provider - this course fully satifies all of the CMC's requirements for Commercial Mediation training courses. TAE provided Mediators nationally to the National Mediation Helpline.

The basic course of six days comprises of 5 modules of either one or two days. The modules are grouped into three sets - two of three days comprising the 'qualifying course' and the two day Assessment.

The courses are usually held at The Academy's of Experts  in Gray's Inn, London although for groups alternative arrangements can be made. Click on the module to see synopsis of each part of the course.

In addition courses can and are held anywhere in the world where there is sufficient demand.

These training courses are designed around a predetermined number of participants working in small groups. Cancellation or poor time keeping therefore not only deprives others of a place but also has an adverse effect upon those attending.
