The Three Main Aspects: Training, Experience and Marketing

Training
Tips on how to find the correct training for you. This might be at a local community mediation center, or you might choose to get a Masters or Doctorate degree. This course explains the benefits of multiple options so that you can make the right decision for you.

Experience
This is the most difficult aspect of starting as a mediator. This course provides many different suggestion from using prior contacts, to potential volunteer opportunities, to common methods others have used successfully to develop clients.

Marketing
How to capitalize on your training and experience. There are two aspects to marketing: what will appeal to clients and what will work for you. Dr. Fowler discusses both of these in detail, and then lists multiple resources that will help participants to create and refine a successful marketing campaign.
