Mediation Skills, Zambia
Special IME price of $275
Mediation in the Zambian Judicial system is quickly expanding as the first step on the multi-step ladder of ADR processes. Beginning with court based mediation programs to combat case backlog and ensure the speedy settlement of disputes, mediation in Zambia is now expanding into private litigation.
To ensure the successful implementation of mediation throughout the legal system, it is essential that mediators develop the necessary mediation skills to assist parties in finding solutions that meet their needs. This Mediation Skills Zambia course will provide aspiring court and commercial mediators with the needed skills while enhancing the culture of mediation in Zambia.
Edwards Mediation Academy’s online courses are taught by the most experienced experts and pioneers in the mediation field. They are highly interactive and incorporate presentations and commentary, as well as virtual mediation shadowing, where participants observe a full day mediation as though sitting at the table with the mediator. Learn from the lens of experience, not through a textbook.
Learners can take the online portion of the course over three months in the convenience of their home or office. The Institute of Mediation Excellence and Bruce Edwards will lead subsequent 90 discussion and mediation coaching sessions after specific modules.
