Who qualifies as a certified mediator?

A person must complete a recognised mediator course of at least 40 hours with practical assessments. There is no law defining this. However, DISAC and NABFAM are voluntary professional organization which accredit mediation training. in the future there will be one accreditation body recognised. The quality of mediation training differs in South Africa. Check whether the training is certified by DISAC, NABFAM and/or the IMI. Mediate Works recommends mediator training offered by Conflict Dynamics.
