This service is for people who have completed appropriate training or are applying for accreditation under one of the other pathways and require assessment for accreditation.
The standard Mediation Institute NMAS Course includes the assessment. You do not have to pay extra for assessment.
You can apply to be assessed for accreditation by Mediation Institute even if you completed your training with another mediation trainer in Australia or anywhere else in the world less than 24 months ago.
The NMAS Mediator Accreditation Assessment is only available for mediators who have had completed their training less than 24 months ago or would like to apply for assessment for accreditation based on experience as a mediator.
We recommend that you complete our Mi Mediator Refresher Course rather than just booking in for an assessment if your training was a considerable time ago and you are not confident of your ability to pass the assessment.
