Foundation Training Programme in Workplace Mediation Skills

- a six-day Open College Network accredited programme

 

This 6-day programme covers all aspects of the learning required to start practising as a workplace mediator. Successful participants will gain up to 6 Open College Network credits at level 3 and receive Mediation at Work's "Certificate in Workplace Mediation." The programme includes 40 hours of contact time and around 12 hours of private study time.

 

By the end of the programme, participants should be appropriately competent to:

•  Undertake initial meetings with each party; help the parties explore and clarify the issues and feelings involved; and consider mediation as an option in resolving their difficulties.

•  Conduct workplace mediation meetings to assist the parties in building workable agreements about future conduct, and/or developing increased mutual understanding of their working relationship.

•  Interact constructively, and without discrimination, with a diverse spectrum of disputants within an organisation at all levels, including in emotionally charged situations.

•  Manage their own reactions to conflict and their feelings, assumptions, and prejudices.

•  Systematically evaluate their own work and co-mediators' work, as a part of a commitment to ongoing learning development, and to ensuring quality standards.

 

Additionally, participants will have had the opportunity to develop skills and techniques that will have applications in all aspects of their work.

 

Two trainers will work with the group throughout the programme and the maximum group size is 12 to ensure time for skill development and feedback from the trainers. Both trainers are practising mediators with experience of leading this programme in a variety of settings.

 

Currently we do not have plans to run an open programme.  However, if you would be interested in being contacted when the next open programme is being planned, please let us know.
