IoP Accredited Mediator Diploma - Online

With the rise of the demand for fully qualified and accredited mediators both in the UK and around the world, the IoP Mediation Course enables paralegals to learn and apply the skills needed to effectively mediate civil and commercial disputes.

This 5-day full-time virtual course is delivered and accredited by Hunt ADR to ensure that we are providing first class training, of which will lead to both an IoP Diploma in Mediation and use of the designation letters Q.Med.Pa.

On successful completion of this challenging (but fun) 40-hour course participants will also be able to become a fully qualified CMC Accredited Civil & Commercial Mediator and authorised by Professional Paralegal Mediators in the UK by attending an additional day of face-to-face training, once Covid restrictions allow this.  This is at no extra charge.

At the IoP we believe this is a fantastic opportunity for our members to be able to provide greater services and for law firms to train their Paralegals to become mediators for their firms.
