“The 5 day course I attended in May 2014 worked really well. The small, tight knit group made the course very enjoyable and our trainer was fantastic, she had huge knowledge and was able to give us anecdotes of real life examples. The course was great value for money and we came away with a fully accredited qualification. I’m now getting good support from Align in finding real work and I’m looking forward to becoming a successful mediator in my own right. It’s very exciting.”

“When I first enrolled onto the distance learning course, I was a bit apprehensive about what the experience would be like. I can honestly say my reservations were unfounded. The course content was clear, concise and easily digestible at your own pace. The assessment process was geared to self-learning and the support from all at Align Mediation was first class. I have no hesitation in recommending the course to anybody.”

Fergal Roche

Executive Coach, Surrey

“I got a lot out of this course. It is built around a process that provided me with a secure framework for dealing with a challenging task. The tutoring was first rate. I did the online version, and was pushed hard by my tutor to notice what I was doing and how I could be more effective. By the time I did the final assessment I was feeling confident. More importantly, I believe I now have the basic tools to start working as a mediator.”

“I completed the distance learning course in December 2015. I found the manuals very informative and helpful and the Skype sessions with my tutor were interesting and taught me a lot about handling a mediation situation. My final exam was facing two experienced mediators which I enjoyed very much and was pleased to learn I had passed the course as a result.”

Because the content, delivery, competence and expertise of the Align team from booking to completion is stunning. The way they have developed, put together, and delivered the training to suit the required curriculum and the wide range of participants learning styles, is excellent. My thanks go out to Harry and Steve for their tuition, support and guidance. I also thank my fellow participants… some great new friendships made. If you are wishing to acquire the skills to make you an efficient, effective and competent civil/ commercial mediator, look no further than Align Mediation.”

“I recently completed the Align civil and commercial mediation skills course, and found it to be excellent. The course content was well balanced between theory and practise, with feedback throughout in order that we could keep improving as the week went on. Steve was an excellent trainer who was clearly extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic, but also friendly and ensured everyone was included. I’d recommend this course to anyone looking to become a mediator, or indeed those looking to learn new skills to use in their existing careers.”

"I have to say that your input throughout this process on the distance learning course has been brilliant. Great service, great feedback and always on hand to fit in the sessions at convenient times. I really do appreciate all of your assistance."

Bill Andrews

Recruitment Consultant

"I cannot recommend Harry and Steve at Align Mediation enough. They, and the service they offered, was of the highest order. The whole process was both professional and highly personable throughout, from initial conversations with Harry about which course was the most appropriate for my future career goals, through to the booking process and the subsequent help and support on completion.

The Align Mediation 5 Day Course was excellent. The course content, delivery, level of participant engagement and venue were simply top-notch. It provided a knowledgeable and rewarding insight into the world of mediation and has proved integral to preparing myself for a career in the field.

Kudos to Harry and his team, and I would recommend Align Mediation to anyone looking to become a qualified mediator."

Lisa Leppard

Lisa Leppard

NHS Consultant

"I completed my Mediation Training with Align Mediation through distance learning. This worked very well for me. I was sent all the teaching materials I needed and Harry was allocated as my online tutor.

The materials were easy to read and the DVD’s of the taught lessons from the residential course were really helpful. I was able to contact my tutor easily and tutorials and Module assessments were easy to arranged and carried out over Skype as was my final practical assessment.

I chose to complete the course over a week as I would have done if I had taken the residential option. I don’t feel I missed out in any way by gaining my accreditation in this way. I would thoroughly recommend Align Mediation to those interested in qualifying as a mediator."

Mike Wakefield

Mike Wakefield

International Lawyer

"The Align Mediation course has something for everyone. The principles the course teaches can be used to broker agreements to multi-million dollar disputes between companies, or to sort out which programme one’s children should watch on a given evening. However, the course is very challenging as it places professional negotiators in a novel position of getting two parties in neither of which one has an interest to agree to resolve a dispute that doesn’t affect the mediator. This requires very different types of thinking.

I would recommend Align Mediation to anyone interested in learning new skills that will enhance their existing roles, or create a new one for them."
