I found all the sessions extremely helpful. I very much appreciate the documets provided as well. Watching the mediation progress was very instructive, as were the short video explanations by experts. The least helpful for me was the journalling aspect.

The course offers practical material to get a robust grasp on the concepts of mediation. Much of the content teaches material that you cannot simply get from publications.

A useful and practical course
This was a useful and very practical course which is essential viewing for anyone who is, or wants to be a mediator. Bruce Edwards is a wise and experienced mediator who gives numerous tips and suggestions as to how to mediate even the most difficult cases. Other experienced mediators give advice as well. One of the best parts is the course shows Bruce doing a mediation. Highest recommendation.

Bruce’s experience and insights, along with contributions from our other mediators, are an important part of the learning experience, and we’re pleased to hear they resonated with you. We’re especially glad you enjoyed watching Bruce conduct a mediation. Thank you for your highest recommendation!
All the mediators were excellent and all quite unique in their styles. It certainly opened my eyes to the "science" of mediation and the "art" of mediation. I am a bit guilty, I haven't stopped working since the week before my launch and I still I one assignment to complete.
I really appreciated Bruce's style, approach, professional but accommodating presence. Thanks. The class opened my eyes to the tip of the iceberg but made me realize how much more there is to learn.

Bruce and his EMA team are to be highly commended for creating such a practical, thoughtful and worthwhile course. Thank you, EMA!!!!!

Bruce brings the perspective of both a lawyer and psychologically adept person to the course, which I think is important for achieving resolutions that parties don't later regret. In addition, the course is filled with information that is made real through examples. It is a rich course, one that I plan to review over and over.

As a former trainee in Edwards Mediation Academy (EMA), my experience with the mediation training was truly excellent. What made it especially great was the combination of practical learning, expert facilitation, and a supportive environment. The sessions were highly interactive, allowing us to engage in real-life scenarios and hands on exercises that made the concepts easy to understand and apply.
The Edwards Mediation Academy did exceptionally well in structuring the training (Modules) in a clear, organized, and professional manner. The facilitators demonstrated deep knowledge of mediation principles and ensured that every participant was actively involved. They created a safe space for open discussion, questions, and constructive feedback, which greatly enhanced the learning experience.
I also appreciated the balance between theory and practice. The materials were well-prepared, relevant, and directly applicable to real-world situations. Overall, the training strengthened my confidence and practical skills in mediation.
I highly recommend EMA to anyone seeking high-quality, professional mediation training.

I like your methodology of teaching: by examples and Videos
The methodology of using examples and senior mediators'experiences is very good and helped to well understand the mediation process.
Especially for Rwanda, I like the way you collaborate with local facilitators who know our cultural context and help learners to more understand the course during face to face sessions.

Great practical training with real-life examples. Knowledgeable trainers and clear structure. More simulations or follow-up support would make it even stronger.
My experience with the mediation course was genuinely positive. What made it great was the practical approach, the real-life examples and interactive sessions helped me understand how to apply the concepts, not just learn the theory. The trainers were knowledgeable, supportive, and created a respectful learning environment that encouraged participation.
The academy is doing very well in structuring the course clearly and delivering it professionally. If anything, adding even more practical simulations or follow-up support could make the experience even stronger. Overall, it was a valuable and worthwhile program.
