Mediation Training
Mediation is now considered an essential element of Dispute Resolution which deals with disputes in a quick and cost effective manner. Mediation is the process in which an impartial and independent third party facilitates communication and negotiation and promotes voluntary decision making by the parties to a dispute to assist them to reach a mutually acceptable solution. This 8 day 60 hour programme offers individuals the chance to become Certified Mediators and will qualify them for membership of the Mediators Institute of Ireland and other professional mediator bodies.
Why would people choose Mediation?
- Less Adversarial: Mediation is an interest-based process based on consensus and collaborative agreement.
- Lower Cost: Both in monetary and personal terms, mediation is inexpensive compared to rights-based interventions such as investigation or litigation.
- Preservation of Working Relationships: Mediation works towards long-term solutions for the disputing Parties, and where there is an ongoing relationship places significant emphasis on how they will interact in the future.
- Control: Mediation belongs to the Parties. The disputing Parties control the content and outcome of the mediation.
- Creative Solutions: Mediation allows for creative solutions which may not be available in rights-based processes.
- Protection of Privacy: The confidential nature of mediation allows the Parties to negotiate freely and productively without fear of publicity.
- Swift Settlement: Mediation can be scheduled soon after a dispute arises and following the pre-mediation meetings, can often be concluded in a single day.
- Preservation of Options: Engagement in a mediated intervention does not preclude participation in a different dispute resolution process.
- Low Risk: Settlement potential is high and there are benefits to participating in the process for all.
