Civil & Commercial Mediation Training –  FAQs

We’ve got the answers to your most frequently asked questions. If you do not see a specific question you would like answering, please do not hesitate to contact us.

What qualifications do you need to be a Civil Mediator?

Anyone with a professional background and/or a level three qualification can become a mediator.  For example:

• Lawyers
• Therapists/Counsellors
• HR consultants
• Industry experts
• Customer Services
• Graduates

This list is not exhaustive. If you are not sure if mediation training is suitable for you, please contact us and arrange to speak with one of our experienced trainers.

Do you need to be legally trained to become a Mediator?

Having a legal qualification or legal experience is not essential to being a mediator.  Clients in mediation should obtain their own independent legal advice.  It is not the role of the mediator to provide advice.

The extensive training program at Crowther Mediation provides delegates with sufficient knowledge of the law and the legal framework.

Having skills and experience in negotiating, counselling, customer relations etc are more important to becoming a good mediator.

How much does Mediation Training cost?

Our five day civil mediation training course costs £2,250 plus VAT. Our combined Civil and Workplace Mediation course costs £2,750 plus VAT. 

Spread your payment into 3 interest-free instalments with PayPal.

How long is the Civil Mediation Training?

The Civil Mediation training course consists of 40 hours of training over five days.  There is an additional 8 hours of training (1 day) to become a workplace mediator.

How much does a Civil Mediator earn?

An experienced Civil Mediator can expect to earn in excess of £100,000 per year.  But it largely depends on the individual and the work/life balance they are looking to achieve.

What happens once I’ve completed the course?

Upon successful completion of the course, delegates must observe or take part in a number of mediation sessions (approx. 3) to earn 10 observation points.  This will allow them to register with the registration body Civil Mediation Council. 

A mediator must do at least 15 hours of mediating each year to renew and maintain their accreditation with the CMC.

Do you provide career opportunities once the course is completed?

Delegates can choose to join our register of Civil Mediators.  Unlike any other mediation training provider, we have large contracts with organisations both nationally and internationally and we regularly use individuals from our register of mediators to facilitate those mediation contracts. 

Because we are not just a mediation provider, but also a mediation practice, we can give our delegates additional opportunities, other training providers can’t.

Crowther Mediation Foundation Training Course provides an excellent foundation for anyone wanting to start their mediation journey. The training is insightful, highly informative, and genuinely enjoyable. There is a strong balance between theory and hands-on practice, with plenty of practical exercises that build confidence and real-world skills.

Brilliant session! The mediator was very calm, balanced and working with different positions. He (the fella from Scotland/Newcastle, not sure if I can write his name) deserves a lot of credit. He clarified information and did a great job with a rigid stance, keeping the discussion constructive despite one entrenched position. Very much appreciated your effort!

I recently completed my mediation course with Crowther Mediation, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was truly outstanding.

The course itself was meticulously designed and delivered with real expertise. The content was comprehensive, practical, and immediately applicable, clearly built by people who understand both the theory and the reality of mediation practice. Every session was engaging, well structured, and left me feeling genuinely prepared to step into the field.

What really elevated this experience was the calibre of the teaching team. Nicola, Judith, and John are simply exceptional. Their collective knowledge is nothing short of spectacular. Decades of experience distilled into accessible, inspiring tuition. They created a supportive learning environment where questions were welcomed, and complex concepts were made clear through real world examples. Their passion for mediation is infectious, and their commitment to developing new practitioners is evident in everything they do.

Learning alongside fellow students who were equally engaged and motivated made the experience even more rewarding. The sense of community and shared purpose was palpable.

I am delighted to be continuing my mediation development with Nicola as my Professional Practice Consultant (PPC). Having that continuity with someone who knows my learning style and aspirations is invaluable.

If you are considering a career in mediation, Crowther Mediation should be your first choice. World class training, brilliant tutors, and genuine support for your ongoing development. Simply stunning.

I recently completed this mediation training course and it exceeded every expectation I had. The trainers created an environment that felt both stretching and genuinely supportive, which made it easy to engage fully and build confidence as the days went on. It was full on but all worth it! Thank you !

I trained with Crowther as a Family Mediator. They were attentive from beginning to end - answering questions initially about my eligibility, meeting virtually with me to ensure they were a good fit, and then following up post-training to ensure we were on the right track moving forward. They cultivated an amazing group together for training, seems they pick their candidates well and keep the group diverse. I appreciated that they insist we communicate as a group after training and will host events throughout our next few years for us to meet virtually and grow our network. The company stayed organized throughout training, the trainer, Nicola, was a fountain of knowledge and experience that made training interesting and fun. Would use them again for further training in the future!

Crowther Mediation's training services are exceptional. Nicola Crowther is extremely professional, friendly, and welcoming which facilitated my learning significantly during the weeks training. The elements of mediation were broken down in a manner that made sense alongside plenty of time to practice the skills learned which ultimately assisted my passing of the course.
Besides the training, Nicola has been much support to me when navigating the industry as a newly qualified Mediator.
I would recommend Crowther Mediation to anyone who is interested in training to become a Mediator, thank you!
