In part 1 of this two-part series on mediator certification, we explored the difference between mediator certification, licensure and rostering, what's happening in private certification, and what steps associations are taking toward certification.

In this episode, part 2, we continue our exploration of certification with discussion about these questions and more:

  • Should certification be benchmarked to the lowest common denominator of qualifications, a high standard that is difficult to achieve, or somewhere in between?
  • What value would certification offer the public and how would it benefit individual mediators as well as the growth of mediation as a profession?
  • How do we know certification would improve the quality of mediation services for consumers?
  • In what ways might certification have a negative impact on mediators and growth as a profession?

This episode is facilitated by Amanda Bucklow, who is joined in conversation by Jeff Thompson, Vickie Pynchon, Diane Levin, and Tammy Lenski.
