Course Aim:  To equip participants with the knowledge, skills, attitude and awareness required to intervene positively and/or mediate with people experiencing conflict and difficulties in a variety of situations.

The objectives (learning outcomes) of the programme are:

  • To develop participants understanding of the theory of conflict and ADR how conflict happens, escalates and impacts people and organisations.
  • To develop awareness of conflict styles and facilitate skill development so that participants can expand their repertoire of conflict behaviours to suit the contexts they find themselves in.
  • To attain a good understanding of core mediation and ADR concepts, theories, models, processes, and principles.
  • To develop participants’ mediation skills to the level of competency as laid down in MII certified assessment requirements.
  • To raise participants’ awareness of how their own triggers and biases can impact the mediation process and to facilitate ways of managing them.
  • To learn how to create an environment of trust, rapport and empowerment when facilitating people in conflict. 
  • To provide participants with essential information which guides mediator’s behaviour e.g. The Mediation Act (2017) and the MII Codes of Ethics and Standards.
  • To provide participants with opportunities to work with power and develop their own reflective practitioner.
