Our Mediation Skills Intensive is a professional skills course. There is no assessment for this course. It is feedback based to assist you in the development of your mediation skills, it does not provide a qualification. You will receive a certificate confirming your attendance at the Intensive.
+ What qualification will I gain if I undertake the AMINZ Associate Programme?
Our Associate Programme is not a qualification because it is not a degree or diploma course, it is part of a professional standards scheme. The course is a pathway to Associate membership with AMINZ. If you complete all four semesters of the course and meet the ‘fit and proper person’ requirement, you will be eligible to be an Associate member of AMINZ.
There are many different pathways to becoming a mediator.
Generally speaking, there are no required qualifications to be a mediator, but we believe that completing training in the field to strengthen your knowledge and understanding of the skills and processes involved is important.
If you are wanting to become an accredited Farm Debt Mediator, or a Family Dispute Resolution practitioner, there is additional mandatory training required.
AMINZ is a membership organisation and our Associate Programme offers a pathway to membership at Associate level with us.
If you are a fit and proper person, you can become an affiliate member of AMINZ at any time, but to become an Associate you must meet the requirements set out in the Rules . Associate members of AMINZ are eligible to apply for our panels and lists. Our panels and lists are made up of practitioners who we hold out as being experienced and qualified.
Being a member of a professional body, such as AMINZ, also provides your employer and/or clients peace of mind in knowing that we consider you a fit and proper person, and that they are supported by a robust complaints process should anything go wrong.
