Testimonial from a Recent Family Mediation training course

The attendees on our Workplace Conflict Management and 32 Hour “Family Mediation” courses are talented professionals looking to learn about mediation or enhance existing mediation skills. Attendees in 2020 have included solicitors, barristers, psychotherapists, social workers, SME directors and accountants.

Our training emphasises practical knowledge & skills based on the ARC Team’s experience mediating hundreds of cases.

“I recently undertook the requisite ‘32 hours separating couples’ course with ARC Mediation. I admire the pragmatic approach ARC takes to resolving disputes whether they be commercial disputes or personal disputes.

 I was impressed with the amount of up-to-date legal knowledge the mediators at ARC possess, and the amount of that legal knowledge imparted to course participants. Though the process of Mediation is not a legal process, regard for the law is necessary when parties are coming to a workable solution to their problems because it means that their settlement agreement can be enforced by a court, if needs be.

Practitioners who adopt the ARC model of dispute resolution and clients who use the ARC service are likely to see practical agreements being reached, resulting in settlements that can divert disputing parties from expensive litigation or at least reduce the amount of issues in dispute between them.”

– Patricia, Barrister (August 2020)
