Training Course Overview

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) encompasses structured methods such as mediation, arbitration and conciliation that help parties resolve disputes without going to court. Mediation involves an impartial third party who facilitates constructive dialogue and negotiation, helping those in conflict reach a voluntary and mutually acceptable agreement. The mediator is trained to guide the process while upholding key principles including impartiality, integrity, fairness, and confidentiality. At its core, mediation is a structured negotiation supported by a neutral facilitator.

This Certificate in Alternative Dispute Resolution training course introduces participants to the core principles, processes, and practical techniques of ADR, with a particular focus on mediation. Through case studies, group work and guided exercises, participants will learn how to identify appropriate situations for ADR, understand the roles and responsibilities of mediators, and develop the communication and facilitation skills needed to support resolution. The course provides a foundation for those seeking to apply ADR approaches in workplace, stakeholder, or commercial settings.
