First week

First week

This week sees the start of our latest Mediation Skills training course. We will welcome participants from a variety of backgrounds - from healthcare, third sector and public sector. By the very nature of the job, as soon as one course begins, I start planning and promoting the following course, then the next one after that.

Sometimes though it is helpful to take stock, to refresh and review. We have some opportunities for this during the training year. The first is the final day of our mediation training, when we ask learners to reflect on what they have learnt and how they found the course delivery, warts and all. Hearing those reflections and afterwards reading their evaluations is always a productive and positive experience.

Recently I analysed 2025 evaluations and discovered that all learners rated us as either good or excellent in course content, course delivery and course materials.

Below are a few of the comments over the past 12 months.

“The trainers created a supportive and encouraging learning environment, and their knowledge, patience, and practical experience made the sessions genuinely engaging.” (December)

“Overall the 6 day course was facilitated at a pace which maximised learning and developed relationships” (September)

“Use of the breakout rooms for group work was good. It was good to have plenty of opportunities to practice various sections of the mediation process/skills involved.” (June)

“All top notch to be honest and the most enjoyable and informative training course I’ve been on in as long as I can remember. I genuinely think I’ve learned a new skill and techniques for handling conflict” (March)
