Business Need

Differences between individuals at work can lead to lack of focus on the job, grievances, absences, loss of valuable employees and sometimes Employment Tribunal claims. The cost in terms of time, money and stress on managers and employees is considerable. Mediators work with those in conflict to help them find and agree their own solutions.

This training course is accredited by NOCN, a trusted and recognised awarding organisation, so the qualification gained meets a consistent standard. The training and trainee assessment are externally verified by NOCN and quality assured. Successful learners will be awarded the Acas Certificate in Internal Workplace Mediation.

Candidates are assessed through their performance in role play activity on the course and by presentation of a portfolio of evidence after one month the course is completed.
