What is the NCRC Mediator Credential?
Offered to serious practitioners since 1993, the NCRC Mediator Credential is a certificate awarded to mediators who have demonstrated basic competency through a three-pronged curriculum: 30 hours of mediator skills training, a supervised experiential internship, and a detailed performance evaluation. The experiential component includes two observations and 8 mediations. Prior training and experience may entitle an applicant to a waiver of some or all of the first two components and an adjusted fee. There is no prerequisite educational background to apply for the NCRC Mediator Credential. Enrollment may begin at any time throughout the year based on availability. There is usually a waiting list to begin the program. Average completion time for the credential is nine months to a year. Call (619) 238-2400 for an application and fee information.
