Mediation Practice

This course represents an intensive opportunity to integrate the concepts, models, and skills learned during the other courses offered in the mediation specialization. Participants pursue these goals by engaging in role play practice (in groups of 3 or 4) before spending significant, additional focused time reviewing the practice sessions in more detail under the guidance of an experienced mediator and coach (Note: The ratio of coaches to participants is approximately 1-3). For most training participants, the completion of this course serves as the capstone (final course) towards acquiring a Mediation Skills Certificate.

The course is led by a team of seasoned practitioners and training participants are provided with opportunities to be coached and debriefed during two play practice sessions.

Introduction to Conflict Resolution, Coaching for Resolution, and Basic Mediation Skills are Prerequisites for this course.
