Rachel Holmes, ER Partner at Tesco – National Certificate in Workplace Mediation
"A fun and energetic way to engage your team to tackle conflict resolution within the business, through an informal process. I particularly liked the energy and passion of our trainer who naturally made us feel engaged and wanting (eager) to learn more! Amazing!"
Stephanie McFarland, Employee Relations Partner at Tesco – National Certificate in Workplace Mediation
"A passionate and inspirational training course that will enrich your skills and change your mindset. There was so much I liked, but particularly the energy and clear passion shown by both trainers. It’s so easy to get excited and to believe in something when it is so evident the people giving you the skills show it with every action. I can’t think of anything that would have made the course better – I feel so supported."
Eleanor Bones, Policy Advisor at Tesco – National Certificate in Workplace Mediation
"What a wonderful and enjoyable six days! From knowing nothing about mediation to becoming a qualified mediator, it’s been a fantastic learning experience. I really enjoyed the upbeat atmosphere even by day 6! I particularly liked the aspect of being able to put it all into practice through role plays and the fact that I can use these techniques not just in work but in day to day life."
Rachel Johnson, Assistant HR Adviser at Northumberland County Council – National Certificate in Workplace Mediation
"I didn’t really know what to expect at the beginning of the course so I particularly liked how the trainer broke everything down into chunks, explained things again if we weren’t sure and summarised the day with us at the end. The skills that I have picked up will come in useful in my HR role as I deal with people every day, particularly active listening and reframing. I wouldn’t change anything – it was a perfect mix of theory and practical for me. Overall, a great course that I looked forward to coming to. Very engaging from beginning to end – I have learnt a lot more about people in general than I thought I would. Everything taught to us had a purpose and was used in the assessment. I look forward to putting this knowledge into practice. Thank you!"
John Newland, Senior Sponsor (Property) at Network Rail – National Certificate in Workplace Mediation
"The course was fun, uplifting and supportive. The style of learning is really very positive and I feel gets excellent results. I know I have a lot to learn but I feel well prepared to continue my learning. I hope to start mediation as quickly as possible working as a co-mediator. This training was simply the most productive and informative I have ever experienced. I feel real value was added and the trainers were simply excellent."
Rebecca Harding, Assistant HR Adviser at Northumberland County Council – National Certificate in Workplace Mediation
"Fantastic trainer! Gave a fresh perspective on conflict and its root cause. I would highly recommend TCM to any organisation experiencing the challenges which arise from workplace conflict. The training materials are really interesting and well written, the delivery is engaging and the learning outcomes are excellent."
Ellie Cooper, HR Adviser at Northumberland County Council – National Certificate in Workplace Mediation
"This course was an excellent learning experience due to the course material, the way the course was set out and due to the enthusiasm and knowledge of the trainers. I will apply what I have learnt throughout my role as a HR Adviser and will use the mediation techniques on a daily basis. I will also be part of the pool of mediators for the council. Being assessed as a mediator brought all the learning together. It was powerful to see this and surprising to see how much I had learnt."
Lauren Hurst-Anderson, Head of Business Services at Air Navigation Solutions – National Certificate in Workplace Mediation
"This is honestly the best course I have attended in a long while – it was brilliant! The active learning style had plenty of opportunity to participate in a ‘live’ environment and there was a huge sense of achievement. I will apply what I have learnt every day in the workplace as I have lots of opportunities to do so! It was fast-paced and packed with information and a variety of practical tasks to keep you engaged. Well done TCM, very refreshing! I would 100% recommend.
Fiona Milner, Domestic Abuse Lead Nurse at Lincolnshire Community Health Services – National Certificate in Workplace Mediation
"This course was very comprehensive in providing a toolkit for me to take forward into my role as mediator. The techniques demonstrated and assessed gave a safe environment to enhance new skills gained. The balance between theory and practice enabled me to learn and participate and test my synthesis of information. I have mediation sessions booked and I will now have an increased confidence in delivery and more able to engage with the parties."
Pam Spence, Admin Manager at United Lincolnshire Hospital Trust – National Certificate in Workplace Mediation
"Bola is an excellent tutor. He loves his job and is always excited to share his knowledge. This made the course more interesting as I wanted to learn all aspects from him."
