Practitioners will gain advanced knowledge of the legal framework and the best practices on acting as mediators in civil and commercial matters at national and international level. The Course will be delivered at an intermediate-to-advanced level.

The Course is delivered in association with ProMediate, which is an accredited Mediation Provider and Registered Civil Mediation Council Mediation Training Provider in the UK.

Once practical assessment is completed and personal feedback provided, certificates of completion will be issued and participants will be able to register as mediators under the rules of the Civil Mediation Council (CMC), provided they do three observations in mediation. Subject to successful local registration, participants can act as mediators in the Member States of the European Union under the terms and conditions of the EU Directive 2008/52/EC on certain aspects of mediation in civil and commercial matters, as implemented in each Member State, including Cyprus. The relevant law in Cyprus is Law 159(I)/2012, ‘Law which provides for certain aspects of mediation in civil matters’. The provisions of the Law will be used throughout the Course, particularly, but not limited, to Days 1 and 4, so that participants to the Course fully appreciate and familiarise themselves with the legal requirements of mediation in Cyprus. These include registration of a mediator in Cyprus, the holding of mediation proceedings in Cyprus and the relationship between mediation and other dispute resolution methods under the Law of Cyprus. The Ministry of Justice and Public Order will accept registration by participants to the course as mediators on the relevant Register provided they satisfy all other requirements under the Law.
