Roleplay and Skills Training – Workplace Mediation
This structured training will provide you with experiential mediation practice and learning through supervised role play to build your mediator competence and skills.
Working through a case from start to finish, participants will have the opportunity to act as both mediator, party and observer. The aim of the training is to develop core practice skills to enable participants to more effectively mediate and manage the process of mediation.
EBPS training programmes are devised and delivered by Karen Erwin and Mags Bouchier, both of whom are very experienced mediation practitioners, carrying out what they teach in their ‘day jobs’. EBPS training is born from their practical experience on the job and informed by and continually adapted in line with their practical day-to-day experience. In their training they share their knowledge and experiences, which makes the training more practical and realistic and ensures that it is up to the minute.
Mediation training testimonials:
GW, Head of Department and Course Coordinator, Trinity College Dublin:
As course coordinator of the Postgraduate diploma in Conflict and Dispute Resolution Studies at Trinity College Dublin I am very happy to recommend the mediation training provided by Erwin Bouchier Professional Solutions.
Mags Boucher and Karen Erwin have been training our students in facilitative mediation for the last two years [2014-2016]. They are very experienced in the field and bring their long-standing practice to the classroom. Each session for the students is thoroughly prepared and professionally delivered. The students benefit from undertaking role plays and practical skills development under the careful tutelage of the trainers. Student evaluations are always very positive about the training received.
I am pleased to report that last year twenty of our students undertook the Mediators Institute of Ireland accreditation exam after training with Ms Bouchier and Ms Erwin, and all passed very successfully. I am expecting similar results this year.
CF, HR Manager:
A highly useful, relevant and valuable training course that offered the perfect blend of theory and practical skills training. The training providers [EBPS] have in-depth and expert knowledge in mediation service delivery, in addition to extensive experience within the professional services industry. This was made evident in the case studies presented, the dialogue generated, and the insights offered…
Margaret is a skilled trainer, bringing both the theoretical and practical elements of the course to life, with professionalism, an inclusive approach, a friendly demeanour and with helpful encouragement along the way. The mediator training course delivered by Margaret is incredibly useful, relevant and highly effective.
