Divorce Mediation Training Programs
Why Our Mediation Training Programs Are Different
Hands-on Experience
By combining theory with practice, our graduates can attain a meaningful level of competence and confidence as prerequisites to a successful and thriving private practice. As the demand for divorce and family mediation is increasing, we empower our trainees with the skillset necessary to fulfill the needs of their clients. Our trainers are leaders in the field of mediation, and, through our programs, they offer constructive feedback and hands-on experience that develops the trainee’s foundational mediation skills.
We offer professional development throughout your mediation career
Mediation Essentials: Basic Training
We offer our 40-hour Basic Training, led by Steve Abel, Ada Hasloecher, and Ken Neumann, three or four times a year. The Basic Training program gives our trainees the tools to build their mediation practice, including lectures and small group discussions on topics such as ethics, implicit bias, domestic violence, taxes, QDROs, child support, (and much more), as well as information on marketing your practice. All Basic Training alums have access to our private LinkedIn group and our extensive collection of mediation documents and forms.
Ongoing Professional Development: Advanced Training and Supervised Practicum
We offer Advanced Training programs and Workshops throughout the year. Recent topics have included QDROs 101; Mediating Pre- and Post-nuptial Agreements; Techniques for Settling Difficult Cases; and Building and Maintaining a Successful Mediation Practice. Our Advanced Training programs are led by Center directors and esteemed guest lecturers at an affordable rate. Our online advanced trainings have been taken by mediators across the United States.
Our Basic Training alums may choose to continue their training with our 60-hour Supervised Practicum. This gives our trainees the opportunity to observe sessions and work in pairs mediating actual cases with live supervision from our expert trainers. Upon completion of the Supervised Practicum, trainees will have the opportunity to mediate numerous sessions and observe many more.
