MEDIATION PATHWAYS TRAINING PARTICIPANTS FEEDBACK

I thoroughly enjoyed the training style and obvious depth of knowledge, allowing participants to interact and grasp concepts in a really comfortable environment.

The course has changed the way I address conflict situations. I now often ‘information gather’ from a person and allow them to air a complaint as they see it, prior to narrowing down those issues and then generating options.

I think the course has really taught me how to listen and respond. It has significantly increased my genuineness of listening and how important (and useful) it is for complainants to feel listened to.

I really enjoyed the smaller group size, which made training and practice sessions so much easier and less daunting.

It made me understand how to think differently and remain neutral which in my role as a HR Manager is not the norm as my role is essentially to find solutions. I have modified the way I conduct investigations, negotiations etc to ensure that I remain neutral to all parties.

I will be recommending this course to others. It was engaging and quality training. Thank you again for a fantastic course last week!

Great tutors, fabulous participants and I gained an incredible amount of knowledge in the field of mediation.

I was very impressed with this course and with the facilitation.  Much was learned and thank you.

Great knowledge from presenters, given freely at appropriate times. Deeper exploration of real workplace examples was most helpful.

Really great course schedule, adequate breaks and great balance in delivery.  Thoroughly enjoyed the course and felt supported through the process.  Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.  It was really lovely to have two facilitators with such a wonderful dynamic.  It made the learning easy and enjoyable.

Thank you for all your efforts, the pace, content, atmosphere and information. Just loved the course and the group!

Hi Salli, Just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me so much last week and especially all the support that you have given me all week!

**National Mediation Accreditation System (NMAS)
The NMAS is a voluntary system under which mediators may choose to become nationally accredited through a Recognised Mediator Accreditation Body (RMAB). RMABs must meet certain requirements and are recognised by the Mediator Standards Board (MSB), established to develop and implement the NMAS.
To be accredited under the system mediators must meet minimum standards of training and assessment. Re-accreditation occurs every 2 years and mediators are required to meet the hours of mediation and continued learning/education requirements specified in the Approval Standards. Mediators accredited under the system are also required to comply with the Practice Standards. A copy of each Standard is available at www.msb.org.au.
