Why train with us?

Having taught mediation and dispute resolution globally, for a number of years, it made sense for us to develop our own Civil/ Workplace Mediation Foundation Training Course in 2020. The course achieved instant recognition, becoming the fastest accredited course.

Crowther Mediation have earned a reputation for excellence in dispute resolution. Our mediators have achieved incredible results in high profile, complex matters all over the world.  We have also lobbied for changes in legislation in the UK, Greece, UAE and Pakistan. We have sat on the board of numerous organisations shaping the future of mediation and developing the mediation processes we use in various legal frameworks today.

It became clear to us, the mediation market had been waiting for this.  The Crowther Mediation Civil & Commercial Foundation Training Course is delivered in universities in the UK, UAE and Europe.

Our trainers all have a wealth of experience in the field of mediation and this is evidenced in the training they deliver.  Delegates benefit from working with real life scenarios and trainers who have learned from their own experiences and are willing to share those experiences. Their knowledge and passion for mediation can be seen in the lectures they deliver and their anecdotal teachings.

What our clients say

“A great course. I really enjoyed the interactive sessions. The role plays were insightful and thought provoking, giving us a real opportunity to practice our new found mediation skills. Not only were the trainers knowledgeable and engaging, but they were really supportive in helping all the delegates on our course to understand the concepts and develop their skills. I would highly recommend this course to any HR professional.”

“Nicola's considerable experience and expertise provided a valuable insight into the world of Civil mediation. She is very personable and easy to learn from, balancing everyone's level of expertise within in the group. The course materials were conveyed in an effective way, the use of real case studies allowed you to gain very valuable experience. It is an intense course, but I found it both thought provoking, inspiring and really good fun and would highly recommend training with Crowther Mediation.”
