How to become an accredited mediator
To become an accredited mediator, you must complete an accredited training course and meet the accreditation requirements of the Federal Mediation Commission. The training programme consists of a basic course and a specialisation module, depending on the type of mediation in which you wish to specialise. After completing your training, you can apply for accreditation.
The accreditation process involves several steps. You submit an application file to the Federal Mediation Commission containing your training certificates, a motivation letter, and a recent extract from your criminal record. Your application will be assessed by the relevant commission, and once approved, your name will be added to the official list of accredited mediators.
Where can you take a training course?
Several training centres that offer mediator training courses have been accredited by the Federal Mediation Commission. Those centres meet specific quality standards and guarantee proper training. The basic training consists of a combination of theoretical education and practical cases.
