What do our delegates think of our training?

   "I had the absolute pleasure of attending the Workplace Mediation Conversion Course with Emma McAndry and Dawn Stainer. As facilitators I could not have asked any more from them - they were engaging, funny, supportive and best of all they gave us honest informative feedback as we practised our skills. I am looking forward to utilising the training and moving forward with my mediation career." 

 

Laura Sieczkowski - Company Director, Civil and Commercial Mediator and Workplace Mediator

"Emma McAndry organised and delivered CPD Training for Mediators. There were 3 case studies of significant complexity to reflect the experience of the delegates. She moderated the event with good critical faculty and sensible suggestions for improvement. She really is an expert in her field. The event was taxing yet enjoyable. Emma should be congratulated on providing such a top quality event."
