Mediation: Conflict Management & Resolution

Ladies and Gentlemen, It is my pleasure to present to you this online certification course “Mediation: Conflict Management and Resolution“. The book is pleasant and easily accessible for each of you. It is packed with accessible information that you can use in your daily life as well as in your professional field. Conflicts are all around us. Rarely, almost never, will you meet a person who can boast that he has never come into conflict with another person. It’s not dangerous and scary to get into a dispute, it’s scary not knowing how to get out of it!

This course will give you clear guidance and understanding of the stages of the conflict, the methods of solution, the possible outcomes, and more.

Mediation, in turn, is an elegant tool for resolving multiple and diverse conflict situations. It is used in various fields of social and professional life. There are also people who have made mediation their way of life and their profession.

This course might not make you a mediator, it might not teach you everything about this profession or professional field of expression, but it could introduce you to its subject, the sphere of influence and highlights, and would certainly be useful in your daily routine and when resolving another dispute, debate, or conflict with another person.

In our training, we adhere to the idea and purpose of providing deep, useful, accurate, and clear scientifically-based information, which in theory can be used for any purpose and in practice can help anyone. In each lecture, we show the original text of the course, and the goal is a more accessible and proper understanding of the training. In this way, we believe that we support the easier perception and comprehension of scientific information. Also, this way anyone can take notes. We hope you appreciate our goal of giving you as much as possible for a minimum of time.
