Thank you Joanne it has been a pleasure to study with Mediation Institute!! I look forward to continuing on. I really appreciate the coaching from yourself, Ken & Peter- you all really care about students & always willing to help. Thanks again 👍

After researching several different colleges, I chose Mediation Institute as they were very approachable, encouraging and were passionate about mediation, and gave me the confidence to proceed considering my career background. I found their extra support given during the course was exceptional, with availability, including mentoring and coaching when I required it from a go to person in my area. I also thoroughly enjoyed the weekly webinars, on a diverse range of topics. I found the online courseware was well laid out, interesting, relevant, and doable. I was a little apprehensive with the practical role-plays initially and especially during the mediator role, but very quickly they became fun, and watching the different interactions and approaches to resolutions very intriguing and diverse. I found the mentoring and tutorials excellent, and to be honest were critical to my understanding and completion of this course. In retrospect, I would definitely undertake the course again with no hesitations, and highly recommend Mediation Institute to anyone interested in this career path.

Just wanted to say thank-you for the course and the feedback from the coursework and the role plays. I have learnt a lot and can’t wait to try this in the real world.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and congratulate Mediation Institute for the professional approach and process in which I was able to achieve my National Accreditation as a Mediator.

I prefer to be trained by specialists. It was only natural to do my mediation training with specialists in mediation. My expectations for the course were exceeded; not only is it a fantastic and comprehensive course but the feedback and all my questions were answered in a really helpful and detailed way. That was the icing on the cake. Thank you!
