The 40-hour Interpersonal Mediation Practitioner's Certificate qualifies your organisation's delegates as 'Accredited Mediators'.
One reason for the popularity of the course is that we prioritise learning-by-doing in order to build up your learners’ competence and confidence as conflict mediators. All of our trainers are themselves practising mediators, who pass on their knowledge and skills through a variety of interactive exercises and group activities.
In addition to our 'Accredited Mediator' status, your delegates will also achieve 'IMI Qualified Mediator' status. The IMPC is formally recognised by the International Mediation Institute, meaning that the qualification holds weight globally.
The course can be delivered in one of two ways:
a 5-day face-to-face course delivered at your location
or a 6-day blended course (3 days online + 3 days face-to-face)
If you are looking to attend this course as an individual, we run open-access courses in conjunction with our sister organisation, UK Mediation. These are delivered face-to-face in the UK throughout the year.

The responsibilities of the mediator: what the mediator adds that the parties can’t do for themselves, and the importance of confidentiality and impartiality
Taking your practice forward: how you will apply your new skills, conforming to best practice, and adhering to a Code of Conduct.
