"The National Certificate in Workplace Mediation course delivered a thorough, well-structured and engaging learning experience, with plenty of opportunities to put theoretical learning into practice in role-plays. The assessed mediation day was a tiring one, but ultimately a rewarding and valuable learning experience. I have learned a lot not only through direct experience (with constructive, critical feedback) but also by observing and giving feedback to other delegates. I will be offering mediation as part of my HR Consultancy work, so I hope to have a real case to mediate in the near future. In the meantime, I plan to practise the core skills (open questioning, active listening, summarising and demonstrating impartiality) in my ongoing HR work, for example, when managing disciplinary or grievance investigations."

"I attended the National Certificate in Workplace Mediation in September 2020 and I have come away from the course fully knowledgeable in workplace mediation. The skills and techniques I have gained from the course have me convinced that this is the best way to resolve workplace conflicts. As an online course, the trainer did very well in keeping us all motivated and engaged, the course content meant that we were engaged throughout the three days on training. I would recommend anyone struggling to resolve a workplace conflict to attend this course."

"It has been an extremely interesting experience and I am happy I decided to enrol in the course. The programme is a good mixture of practice and theory and it is well balanced also in terms of contents. It was also a real pleasure to meet and do the training that are outside my working environment to confront and share practice from other organisations. The trainers have been helpful, clear and very supportive. I also enjoyed the side opportunities such as the interview with David Liddle on his new book and also the workshop with the network of mediators. It is a full and complete programme. I am interested to receive news on the training opportunities offered by TCM so I will continue to read the weekly newsletter with interest."

"I found the training incredibly beneficial and learnt so many valuable skills I can take forward in my role as a HR professional. The training was fun and well put together."

"A very useful course for a HR Practitioner."

"Brilliant training for HR professionals."

"An excellent course to either refresh skills or learn new – would highly recommend."

"An inspiring course for all investigators no matter what amount of experience you have had."

"A well designed course that works well in a virtual environment."

"TCM are important and inclusive champions of positive change in workplaces. Their candour is refreshing, for example they publicly call out traditional HR warning and discipline-based processes as being ‘horrible’ (I fully agree, having witnessed – as a workplace mediator – the destructive effect grievances have had on so many people, which could have been avoided by professional mediation at an earlier stage). While TCM are realistic that fair formal measures are still needed in situations in which all informal routes have been exhausted, David Liddle and his team are eloquently vocal advocates of the Resolution Revolution – with the focus firmly placed on positive interventions like coaching, facilitated discussions and mediation which are needed today as much as any previous time in history, as we all focus on redefining ‘normal’."
