Qualified Mediator

Qualified Mediator

The new Qualified Mediator designation is to recognize members who have completed sufficient mediation and related dispute resolution training to be qualified to practice as mediators.  It is an intermediate step for mediators working to receive their Chartered Mediator designation. The credential will assist the public to select a mediator who has been reviewed to determine if that mediator is qualified by training to conduct mediations.

The designation assists the mediator by providing a nationally recognized credential to show that the mediator has met nationally and regionally set standards for training and/or experience as a mediator.  It is noted that these standards are minimum national standards. Regional affiliates may set additional local standards if they so desire.  Please check with your regional affiliate for information on the particular requirements and application form provided for your region. Please note that the start date for Qualified Mediator designation programs may vary from affiliate to affiliate.
