How will I be assessed? • Candidates will participate as a Mediator in two mock-mediations of one-hour duration and may be involved in role-playing as clients. • Candidates will be assessed in three categories: people skills, process skills and the management of the mediation. Course Information Sheet Module 1 Mediation Training & Assessment People Skills: This category concerns the relationship between the mediator and the participants in the mediation. Building a trusting relationship is essential for an effective mediator. Being competent in this category is mandatory in both role plays. Process Skills: This category concerns the mediator’s ability to use the skills and techniques emphasised on the training course. Competent mediators use a variety of appropriate skills to establish parties’ needs and help them towards settlement. Management Skills: This category concerns the firm and tactical use of the process and skills. Competent mediators create an environment to give the parties the best opportunity of achieving a settlement. This assessment is on a pass or fail basis. Candidates must achieve ‘competent’ in people skills in both mediations and in process skills and management skills at least once in either of their mediations. Candidates who fail the assessment will only be required to re-sit the assessment. |
