Courses for Practicing Mediators
You know how to mediate. This course teaches you how to handle cases that test everything you know.
The Advanced Mediation Skills Course is built for practicing mediators who are ready for multi-party disputes, complex negotiations,
and the commercial cases that require a different level of skill.
Is This Course Right for You?
This course is designed for you if:
- You have completed foundational mediation training and have handled cases in family, community, workplace, or employment mediation
- You want to move into commercial, multi-party, or high-value disputes
- You’ve been mediating for a few years and feel like you’ve plateaued — you want the subtle skills the textbooks don’t cover
- You want to understand how insurance, complex agreements, and multi-stakeholder dynamics affect the process
What Makes This Course Different
Most advanced mediation courses add content. This one puts you inside a 5-party wrongful death mediation – one of the most complex case types there is – and deconstructs every decision the mediator makes. You’ll see how the skills you already have apply at a higher level of difficulty, and where the gaps are. You’ll also get a one-hour private consultation with Bruce Edwards after the course, a conversation about your practice, your goals, and what your next cases should look like.
The Move to Commercial Mediation
Commercial mediation is one of the fastest-growing and highest-paying areas of dispute resolution in the US. Employment disputes, business divorces, construction, IP, insurance, these cases demand a different level of preparation and process design. The Advanced Mediation Course teaches you exactly what that looks like.
From Professionals Like You
“A thorough and deep exploration of the art of mediation. Bruce’s commentary and demonstrations were excellent — he clearly has a command of the subject matter and a knack for presenting it effectively. Dan Bowling’s insights on mindfulness and his experience moving from vigorous advocate to mediator were a meaningful addition.”
