FAQs
How can a course in interpersonal skills be delivered online?
At UK Mediation, we have looked long and hard at what we can deliver online and what needs to be taught face-to-face. While some of our accredited mediator programmes have to be delivered in person, we believe this course can achieve its aims and objectives with a carefully delivered online approach. Plus, we know what we’re doing – we lead the way in virtual training delivery! We are an externally-accredited training provider and the only holders of the ISO 9001 quality standard in the mediation world. Our trainers have devised this course and refined it over the years to be a lively, interactive event, and feedback from previous learners include comments on it being ‘engaging’, ‘highly relevant’, and ‘a great confidence booster’.
I've never trained as a mediator. Would this course be a good introduction?
For an introductory course, we would recommend our Interpersonal Mediation Essentials as an excellent overview of interpersonal mediation, rather than this course which is more suited to people who are already trained.
