Is Certified Mediator strictly based on experience and training, or is performance also considered?
A. In addition to elevated training and experience requirements, Mediate.com’s program critically requires mediators to engage in comprehensive transparency and disclosure. Our ultimate belief is that well informed consumers and advisers can protect themselves. As the Mediate.com is a mediation “field-wide” initative, it is impossible to measure actual competency of performance in all areas of mediation. Neither skills-based nor paper and pencil tests have been developed that have been shown to measure mediation competence in a reliable and valid way. And so, we are left to look to a number of other indicators, including training, experience, comprehensive information disclosure, specific practice area experience, reputation and the like.
