Before you start the course, prepare by reading the CEDR handbook and practise mediating using CEDR's unique online Mediation Simulator.
We start with theory, process and key skills in the early phases of mediation. Sessions include: phases of mediation, preparation, mediator opening, what and how to explore, active listening skills, and managing emotions.
This covers theory, process and key skills in the later phases of mediation; bargaining and concluding. Sessions include: managing offers, negotiation skills, dealing with deadlock, reality testing, and ethics.
We mediate a case throughout the day in groups. Each participant receives extensive coaching, plus 1-2-1 feedback.
Practical assessment, with every participant mediating once and with more 1-2-1 feedback. Cases focus on the earlier phases of mediation.
Practical assessment, with every participant again mediating once and further 1-2-1 feedback. We look at three cases, focusing on the middle and later phases of mediation.
