Training we offer:
We have a variety of different training programs that suit various needs.
We offer Free Training on a donation Basis for anyone who would like to come and Volunteer with the institute.
This training comes with the conditions that the Volunteer Joins the Mediation team and afterwards demonstrates that they are active in their services. Please contact us for more details about this option and to book a possible training.
We also offer two group training weeks per year. This would be held at the European Peace Museum In France. This is based on a sliding scale fee based on what the individual can afford. We recommend that you come as a Pair, as Mediation services are more productive when provided by two people (the initial person is in contact with both parties needing Mediation and the second person provides the mediation service). You would be trained in both roles. There is limited space to stay at the museum but there are also hotels, B&B's and campsites in the area near by. There is a limited number of 12 people/6 pairs for this training.
The cost of the training is between £150-£300 per person for the week.
We can also be "hired" to come and train a group of a maximum of 12 people anywhere in the UK or France providing that our expenses are paid plus £200 per person who attend for a three to five day training course. This can be organised in Universities, schools, colleges, private or public bushiness, etc. Please contact us for further details.
