Fall 2020 Program Information
Due to health, safety and the quality of the instruction, a fall Mediation program will not be conducted.

Please register to be put on the waitlist and you will be notified directly of when the next program will be offered.

 

Mastering mediation skills not only can provide benefits in your personal life, it can provide you with new career opportunities or advancement in your current role. In addition to resolving conflicts, mediations and mediator skills increase productivity, save time and money, greatly contribute to creating a safer workplace, and promote a climate of collaboration.

During the Mediation Certification course, you will engage in small group, coached role playing sessions to help you understand and experience the dynamics of mediation and get the skills needed to help bring disputes to resolution. Students who successfully complete this 40-hour course earn a Mediation Certificate which is necessary to mediate in various programs and settings. Students also have the opportunity to earn a Mediator Practitioner’s Certificate.

Notes: This program is pre-approved for 40 SHRM PDC’s. Please use Activity ID: 15-6EFXR

Due to the nature of this program and the certificate requirements, it is stressed that you attend the full 40 hours of class. If necessary, you may miss up to 2 hours of pre-approved (by the instructor) hours and still obtain the certification. However, you may be required to make the 2 hours up due to the requirements of the Mediation Certification. Make sure you sign-in before each class to validate your attendance.
