This course is ideal for groups and organisations who want to discover more about mediation, or for those who may be considering training further in the subject. It is particularly suited to the needs of those with little or no experience of mediation, who may be considering bringing in external mediators, setting up an in-house service, building mediation into their practice, or training in mediation themselves.
