What our past delegates say

“ The remote training was flawlessly delivered in a comfortable environment and helped develop skills, confidence and much more. I'd recommend it to anyone considering a new career in commercial mediation.”

Lee Stutt

“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.”

Claire DoddsOculus HR

“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.”
