• 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.

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.
