Are you able to stay calm and objective under stress? Do you have a knack for helping two parties resolve their differences? Then you might have a future in Mediation and Arbitration! Macomb College's program will give you many levels and options for training. Students who take the Basic Mediation course will be prepared to:
- Volunteer at local nonprofit resolution centers
- Mediate conflict in the workplace
Students who are ready for a greater challenge can continue their training towards becoming independent mediators and arbitrators. To qualify for the Master Conflict Resolution Specialist Certificate, offered only through Macomb Community College Center for Continuing Education, participants must complete all 152 hours of classroom courses.
Are you a licensed attorney? Then you may waive the Basic Mediation course and enroll in the General Civil Mediation or Domestic Relations programs. However, we recommended starting with the basic course so you won’t miss critical skill building exercises.
