About the Program

The Accredited 60-Hour Foundation Learning Program in Mediation builds on the tradition of mediation by providing a comprehensive, hands-on training that equips trainees with the skills and knowledge needed to become an effective mediator. This program covers the theory and practice of mediation, including communication skills, conflict resolution strategies, and ethical considerations.

This program is open to lawyers, business professionals, educators, or anyone else who wants to help others resolve their disputes in a peaceful and productive way. Also, it focuses on creating a culture where mediation skills are perceived as life skills and not just an addition to the professional profile of an individual. It is curated in a manner that makes it suitable for students/professionals/academicians from non-legal backgrounds as well.
