The Texas statute prescribes 40 hours of classroom training for non-family court-ordered mediations. To mediate court-ordered family cases, an additional 24 hours of classroom training in family law, family dynamics, and childhood development are required. No formal education level is required for either. Texas mediators come from many educational backgrounds. See http://www.txmca.org/ for the requirements of the Texas Mediator Credentialing Association.
