About the course

The 40-Hour Basic Mediation Course is a 5-day (8:30 am – 5:30 pm) training open to people from any professional background. The training focuses on the community-based mediation model. Currently, these trainings are held entirely online, but require participants to remain live and interactive. This course is designed to give individuals the skills and credentials they need to serve as a mediator in the State of Texas. Individuals actively participate in practice mediation following each lecture session, and certificates are provided to participants upon completion of the course.

This course meets the requirements of the the Alternative Dispute Resolution Procedures Act Texas Civil Prac. & Rem Code Sec. 154.052. Additionally, this course meets the training standards of the Texas Mediation Trainers Roundtable and the Texas Mediator Credentialing Association
