1 Day Course – 18 March 2026 (with optional second day to be arranged)

This course is FMA’s flagship Advanced Training Course, for mediators who want to adopt a holistic and flexible approach, drawing on a variety of skills, strategies and resources. It is suitable for those interested in inviting other professionals or family members into the mediation space and in making use of strategies used by non-family mediators and others, in a principled and professional way.

On this occasion we are piloting a first independent day of FMA’s course focusing primarily on theoretical underpinnings and the practice of integrated mediation and lawyer-assisted mediation (sometimes called “hybrid mediation”), with exploration of planning meetings and of working out of separate spaces.

We will then offer to attendees an optional second day primarily offering practice through role play and case study and deeper discussion of issues such as confidentiality, both within and outside the process.

So – book on the first day and then choose with the group whether and how to continue the exploration!

This is a catered event, with teas and coffees throughout and a buffet lunch.
