The PDSL Mediation Training Course provides a recognised professional qualification. Successfully completing the course assessments will result in you becoming a PDSL, Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) and International Mediation Institute (IMI) qualified mediator. You will thereafter be able to register with all three organisations.
You will also have the opportunity to be qualified with the Civil Mediation Council (CMC) and become eligible as a CMC Associate. Under CMC guidelines, this will require you to undertake an extra assessment after the completion of your 5-day online course. This face-to-face assessment will be held in Central London on the 28th June. This assessment will require a £100 administration fee to attend.
All of our trainers are highly experienced and regularly mediate complex disputes within their respective fields. The trainers come from varying backgrounds within mediation and the legal profession. Most of our trainers also have university lecturing experience.

The course is forty hours long and delivered over three different formats. The three formats are as follows:
• 5-day intensive course, full-day sessions everyday
• 5-week course, full-day sessions every Friday
• 8-week weekend course, half-day sessions every Saturday
All courses are delivered online. The content and methodology of the online training is however exactly the same as in-person training. The students attend all the sessions together and the course is highly dynamic and interactive. Around 60% of the training consists of practical roleplay exercises where students engage in a simulated mediation and receive feedback on their performance from coaches. The theory lectures also engage students in live discussion in the same way as an in-person lecture would.
The PDSL Mediation Training Course is internationally recognised for its high quality and academic rigour. It typically costs £1,199.99 for professionals to attend the course in the United Kingdom. Under a special student discount, the course is available for £500.

Testimonials
This has been the best course I have ever attended. The trainers were clearly experienced professionals, knowledgeable about the craft and able to pass on that knowledge to assist me with the development of my own skill set. I was initially a little apprehensive about the role play element to the course, but once you do it you realise its relevance and importance in order to progress.
I have found the administration of this course to be better than I have ever seen before. Everything, for me, ran like clockwork, was well organised. It was better than the technical and administrative skills of my employer and any university I have attended. Everything was streamlined, refined. Even down to being sent individual zip files which clearly identified the parts we were to play. This information could have been discerned from the documents provided, but the administration made it explicitly clear, leaving no margin for error and everything was just completed to such a high standard. Excellent.
