The Mediation Training Institute International is the sole source for inhouse delivery of the Workplace Mediator Certification Course for organizations wishing to establish or enhance the effectiveness of their existing internal ADR/mediation program.

The MTI Training System, a cafeteria plan for the strategic management of organizational conflict, offers the Workplace Mediator Certification Course à la carte, or as part of an integrated approach to prevention, management, and resolution of workplace conflict. (Refer to "Step 5: Expertize" of the system.)

Whether a one-time training event to establish an in-house panel of expert mediators, or a system-wide strategic intervention, you have access to MTI's on-line benchmarking and assessment instruments — The Dana Measure of Financial Cost of Organizational Conflict and The Dana Survey of Conflict Management Strategies — at no additional cost. Use of these instruments provides empirical, quantitative evidence for the program's financial and other benefits — a vital consideration for cost-conscious, results-oriented executives.

In-house mediation training is typically delivered as a 40-hour program on five sequential days. However, alternative scheduling and abbreviated formats may be arranged to suit client needs.

Customization includes pre-course interviews with key personnel to ensure full relevance of training to the kinds of issues that course participants will be mediating.

The cost of customized in-house delivery of the 40-hour Workplace Mediator Certification Course is $6000 for the first three participants, and $1000 for each additional participant. (For price comparison, the registration fee for a public Mediator Certification Course is $1995/each.) Group size: Minimum three, maximum twelve. Instructor travel and accommodations additional.
