I found all the sessions extremely helpful. I very much appreciate the documets provided as well. Watching the mediation progress was very instructive, as were the short video explanations by experts. The least helpful for me was the journalling aspect.
The course offers practical material to get a robust grasp on the concepts of mediation. Much of the content teaches material that you cannot simply get from publications.
This was a useful and very practical course which is essential viewing for anyone who is, or wants to be a mediator. Bruce Edwards is a wise and experienced mediator who gives numerous tips and suggestions as to how to mediate even the most difficult cases. Other experienced mediators give advice as well. One of the best parts is the course shows Bruce doing a mediation. Highest recommendation.
All the mediators were excellent and all quite unique in their styles. It certainly opened my eyes to the "science" of mediation and the "art" of mediation. I am a bit guilty, I haven't stopped working since the week before my launch and I still I one assignment to complete. I really appreciated Bruce's style, approach, professional but accommodating presence. Thanks. The class opened my eyes to the tip of the iceberg but made me realize how much more there is to learn.
I appreciated the ability to learn online. I also appreciated the ethics topics/scenarios I had not previously considered in my practice. Always great to learn new points. Thanks.
This was a fantastic course!! Whether you’re new to mediation or a seasoned veteran, you will learn so much from the wisdom, insights and experienced instruction provided in this course. The commentary by EMA’s panel of experts throughout the course was as fascinating as it was valuable. Bruce and his EMA team are to be highly commended for creating such a practical, thoughtful and worthwhile course. Thank you, EMA!!!!!
Bruce brings the perspective of both a lawyer and psychologically adept person to the course, which I think is important for achieving resolutions that parties don't later regret. In addition, the course is filled with information that is made real through examples. It is a rich course, one that I plan to review over and over.
As a former trainee in Edwards Mediation Academy (EMA), my experience with the mediation training was truly excellent. What made it especially great was the combination of practical learning, expert facilitation, and a supportive environment. The sessions were highly interactive, allowing us to engage in real-life scenarios and hands on exercises that made the concepts easy to understand and apply. The Edwards Mediation Academy did exceptionally well in structuring the training (Modules) in a clear, organized, and professional manner. The facilitators demonstrated deep knowledge of mediation principles and ensured that every participant was actively involved. They created a safe space for open discussion, questions, and constructive feedback, which greatly enhanced the learning experience. I also appreciated the balance between theory and practice. The materials were well-prepared, relevant, and directly applicable to real-world situations. Overall, the training strengthened my confidence and practical skills in mediation. I highly recommend EMA to anyone seeking high-quality, professional mediation training.
I got a great exprrience during this course, I would say that this program is very educative for who whever wish to practice mediation. Edwars mediation Academy shape my future in this professional as mediator.

I like your methodology of teaching: by examples and Videos
The methodology of using examples and senior mediators'experiences is very good and helped to well understand the mediation process. Especially for Rwanda, I like the way you collaborate with local facilitators who know our cultural context and help learners to more understand the course during face to face sessions.
Mediation course was an enriching program that is relevant to to family level, local community and work place
I was to learn that although people are in conflict but with tips provided by the mediation course, amicable settlement can easily be made by applying mediation tips studied,
Great practical training with real-life examples. Knowledgeable trainers and clear structure. More simulations or follow-up support would ma
My experience with the mediation course was genuinely positive. What made it great was the practical approach, the real-life examples and interactive sessions helped me understand how to apply the concepts, not just learn the theory. The trainers were knowledgeable, supportive, and created a respectful learning environment that encouraged participation. The academy is doing very well in structuring the course clearly and delivering it professionally. If anything, adding even more practical simulations or follow-up support could make the experience even stronger. Overall, it was a valuable and worthwhile program.
Edwards Mediation Academy offers incredible courses that gives its students / participants a room of brainstorming whether you are active or dormant participants. The way Edwards Mediation Academy’s courses are set, itself pulls the participant’s attention, due to that each time participants are suspicious to know what is next in each course. Having Edwards Mediation Academy’s Certificate, it’s like moving with ripen fruits or fried meat ready to serve just. Amongst the courses offered by Edwards Mediation Academy, Counselling is missing in at the early stage to help parties during emotion effect. Without government’s help, for private participants like me, it is very difficult to upgrade with Edwards Mediation Academy’s courses due to being too expensive.
