CPD Courses
The MII is committed to providing and promoting a wide range of relevant courses to members to fulfil their CPD requirements and to ensure ongoing development of their knowledge and skills for the benefit of those who use their services. The Practitioner Mediator framework and Certified Mediator framework provide useful guidelines for areas of interest and training.
While the Mediators’ Institute Ireland endeavours to inform you of only courses relevant to mediation, it is unable to accept responsibility for the quality of content or delivery of CPD courses other than those specifically commissioned and promoted under the MII banner. We do however invite feedback from members in relation to CPD courses - see attached evaluation form. Please note, except for MII courses, the individual course providers are responsible for all administration, certification, bookings and payment collection.
To course providers: If you would like to submit a course or workshop for inclusion in the MII CPD listing which you feel would be relevant to mediators and those working in the field of alternative dispute resolution please complete the attached CPD Profile form and forward to the MII as indicated.
To members: If you have a particular interest or requirement which isn't covered in the CPD listing, please notify us by email at education@themii.ie.
The table below lists upcoming and previously held CPD courses. For information on MII accredited mediation training programmes, please refer to the Accredited Training section.
