40-Hour Basic Mediation Training
The Fort Bend County Dispute Resolution Center offers a basic 40-hour mediation training. The training is taught by our Chairman of the Board, Jacqueline Blankenship, and our Executive Director, Shelly Hudson. During this 40-hour training, participants serve as third-party neutrals, settlement advocates, and parties to the dispute. Emphasis is on the practice of mediation through intensive skills training. Participants develop an appreciation both for the functioning of the third-party neutral and for the advocate’s role in the Alternative Dispute Resolution process. All participants will have the opportunity to participate in mock mediations. During this time, you will hone your skills and learn how to become a successful mediator. This intensive training complies with both the Texas statutory requirement for mediation training, (§ 154.052 Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code) and the Texas Mediation Trainers Roundtable Standards for Mediation Training as well as qualifies participants for admission into the Texas Mediator Credentialing Association. Upon completion, students will receive their mediation certificate. This training is generally only offered once a year, and this may vary. The next 40-Hour Basic Mediation Training dates have not yet been scheduled.
Basic and Family Mediation Training dates will be posted once they have been scheduled. Thank you.
