Career Path | Through the Certificate in Mediation, students will have gained practical mediation experience, learned how to maximise the discovery of alternatives to litigation, and understand the key conflict resolution principles. Mediators are trained and experienced in alternative dispute resolution. They are neutral facilitators who help the parties explore the problem, and find new options to resolve the dispute. The enactment of the 2017 Mediation Bill will see Mediation come to the forefront of dispute resolution, and create new career opportunities within the legal industry. |
