The Winter Institute Curriculum
NCRC’s classic facilitative mediation model is introduced and reinforced over two weeks of sequential learning. The courses can be taken separately or together for a total of 60 hours of mediation training. Introductory Mediation Skills Training (32 hours) in the first week is followed after a weekend break with Advanced Mediation Skills Training (28 hours) which introduces new techniques that will benefit even seasoned mediators.
