Online Open-Access Courses

Whether resolving disputes is part of your role within an organisation, or if you’re just looking to add new skills as a freelancer, there will be something to meet your requirements in our range of online courses.

All of the below courses will take place over the Zoom video conferencing app, and will be facilitated by one of our expert trainers (who will also be a practising mediator).

The training will also be interactive and engaging, and we use a variety of different resources, exercises and video clips to bring the learning to life. We understand that online training can often be boring, and we aim to make sure that this isn’t the case when you train with UK Mediation!
