Why become additionally certified?
The current legal situation states the following: In Germany, any mediator may call themselves a mediator if they provide for "appropriate training and regular continuing education" on their own responsibility. The designation of certified mediator, on the other hand, has been legally protected since 2012 by Section 5 (2) of the Mediation Act. Since September 1, 2017, all persons may call themselves certified mediators if they can prove, by means of a meaningful certificate from a training institution, that they
- have successfully completed a training course of at least 120 attendance hours, the content of which is precisely specified by a legal ordinance and
- have mediated a practical case (not a simulation) during the training course or within one year thereafter and reflected on it in an individual supervision session
What you can do afterwards
With the successful completion of the international mediation training, you have already completed 48 hours of live online training (Live Online Sessions + Q&A Sessions + Practice Sessions). With the 3 add-on modules, you will complete an additional 72 hours of mediation training. With the total of 120 hours of training, you fulfill the requirements for a training course that complies with the legal ordinance. We will certify this in the form of a certificate of completion.
After you have mediated or co-mediated a recognised case and received a supervision certificate, CONSENSUS Campus will issue you a certificate stating that you are entitled to use the title of certified mediator.
You are then responsible for ensuring that you retain the title on a permanent basis in accordance with the requirements of the Certified Mediator Ordinance (ZMediatAusbV) by completing four additional supervised practice cases and regular continuing education courses.

Optional add-on practice package

Find your own practical cases: We will help you!
