The Scottish Community Mediation Centre (a service within Sacro, a national third sector organisation) has opened bookings for its 6 day Mediation Skills Course in June 2025, beginning Wednesday 4 June.
This accredited, practical course offers an introduction to the full mediation process. Delivered through a combination of online and in-person sessions, it is aimed at those looking to build core mediation skills in a supportive and engaging learning environment.
The course objectives are to:
- understand your own and others’ responses to conflict
- recognise that there are different models and styles of mediation
- be aware of the ethics informing mediation practice
- appreciate the legal context in which mediation operates
- know how current legislation affects mediation practice
- understand the role of the mediator in different stages of the mediation process
The course is equivalent to SCQF level 6, and meets the requirements of the standards of the Scottish Community Mediation Network. This course is assessed by experienced trainers using a range of assessment techniques, and is designed to produce opportunities to learn through a mixture of role play, discussion and written work.
Each course costs £700, with places booked through completion of a booking form, available on request. For organisations wishing to book 2 people or more onto a course, please contact their team by email: infoscmc@sacro.org.uk to discuss discounted rates.
