Did you know that you have the option to transfer your membership from one Recognised Mediator Accreditation Body (RMAB) to another?
You can do this when your membership with the other RMAB is due, simply complete the transfer section on our renewal form.
You can be a member with both Mediation Institute and another RMAB, however you can only be NMAS accredited through one RMAB.
