Testimonials

"I was impressed with how much I learned during this process. Before this course I didn't think I would be ready to begin my mediation practicum, but now I'm looking forward to it!"

"After 30 years practicing law, I expected this course was only a requirement that I had to check off to transition into mediation. This course helped me to understand my clients better and taught me my style as a mediator."

"I feel like there was a 'take away' that I will use from every single component of the training. Thank you."

 "I always enjoy a training where the instructor is prepared, is knowledgeable, covers all the material expected, considers different learning styles, and follows a pre-set agenda with still being flexible and in-tune with the needs of the individual. I learned a lot and enjoyed the whole week!"

This is a Basic 40-hour Mediation Training which satisfies most state and court basic mediation requirements. Conducted by Dr. Clare Fowler at the University of Oregon School of Law in Eugene, OR with a limited audience (comprised of 3 family law attorneys, 1 commercial and workplace attorney, 1 therapist, and 1 student). This course is pre-recorded and approved for 40 hours of continuing mediation credit in Washington state and 40 hours of CLE credit in California--and reciprocally in many other states.  Upon completion of the course, the participant will receive a Certificate of Completion.

You are encouraged to connect up with a Training Buddy near you, or you can request to be paired up with another online participant.

Each order of the course is only to be used per one individual. Only one certificate will be issued per order. Group Discounts are available. Please email us at admin@mediate.com or by phone at 541-345-1629 to discuss.
