Why Professionals Choose Edwards Mediation Academy

In every course, Bruce Edwards leads you through the process,  40 years and 8,000+ disputes distilled into what you actually need to know. Alongside Bruce, 13 of the most respected practitioners in the field share what only decades of real-world experience can reveal: how to read a room, navigate the moments that derail settlements, and bring parties to resolution when nothing else has worked.

EMA’s online mediation courses are self-paced and accessible anywhere — with no fixed schedules, no cohorts, and no deadlines. All of our courses qualify for CLE credit approved by the California State Bar, and membership includes lifetime access to monthly members-only webinars.

Whether you’re a lawyer seeking an edge in the room, an HR professional managing workplace conflict, a judge expanding your practice, or someone building a new career in mediation — there’s a course designed for exactly where you are.
