Unit Catalogue

This unit provides students with the skills to gain nationally accredited contemporary mediation training in a culturally safe environment. Students develop skills in and gain knowledge of mediation processes that assist in resolving conflict and negotiations in intercultural contexts. Studies in this unit are based on the assumption that mediators come from diverse social and cultural backgrounds and disciplines and each brings with them valuable experience that can contribute to the learning process. Completion of this unit does not qualify students to practice as accredited mediators; students may wish to apply for accreditation as a mediator through a Recognised Mediation Authorising Body (RMAB) at a later stage.
