"I thought I knew all I needed to know about the legislation,  as it turns out I was proved wrong! It was very easy to follow and understand the provisions of the act and their practical implications on my mediation practice. I would strongly recommend this course particularly for non-lawyer mediators, it provides a very helpful outline of how the legal system works in Ireland and how the legal profession interacts with the work of mediators."

"As a private family mediator this course makes the complexities and the legalities of The Mediation Act 2017 concise and succinct. I logged in, clicked on the course and began. The course was very well presented and the multi-media format and variety of learning methods kept me engaged. The certification and CPD points at the end added to the sense of achievement. I'd recommend this to any of my colleagues."
