Become a Professional Mediator this Autumn
MII Accredited Mediation Training
On completion of this course, participants will qualify to practise as Certified Mediators with the Mediators Institute of Ireland. Running over 8 days, there are a maximum of eight participants to ensure a high level of individual attention (one trainer/coach per four participants) and combines theory, demonstration and extensive mentored skills practice, to ensure participants are fully prepared for professional mediation practice.
The programme equips participants with the knowledge, skills, self-awareness, and professional standards required to intervene constructively and mediate in situations of conflict across workplace, community, and organisational settings. The skills are highly transferrable across various contexts. The programme is suitable for leaders, managers, HR professionals, employees, coaches and those wishing to specialise in conflict intervention and communication. Participants will:
-
Develop a clear understanding of how conflict arises, escalates, and impacts individuals and organisations — including insight into their own conflict style
-
Expand their range of conflict behaviours to respond effectively to different contexts
-
Gain a strong grounding in core mediation concepts, models, processes, and principles
-
Build mediation skills to the competency level required for MII Certified assessment
-
Increase awareness of personal triggers and biases and learn how to manage them professionally
-
Learn how to create an environment of trust, rapport, and empowerment when facilitating people in conflict
