Post-Qualification Support
Support That Helps You Move From Qualified to Practicing Mediator
Many mediation training courses stop once you receive your certificate. Align Mediation does not.
Our post-qualification support is designed to help bridge the important gap between completing your training and beginning to build real mediation experience, confidence and opportunities.
As part of the program, you receive practical guidance, resources and ongoing mentoring to help you understand what to do next and how to start moving towards real mediation work.
This is one of the most important parts of the Align Mediation package: helping you move from simply qualified to actively building your mediation practice.
Why It Matters
The Gap Between Qualifying and Getting Work
Receiving a certificate is an important milestone, but it is not the end of the journey. For many new mediators, the bigger question is what happens next.
How do you obtain shadowing? Where can you find voluntary mediation experience? How do you present yourself professionally? How do you begin approaching the market? What documents do you need to run your own cases? How do you start building credibility and confidence?
Our post-qualification support is designed to help answer those questions and give you practical direction after the course is complete.
After You Qualify
What's Included in Your Post-Qualification Support
Guidance on Obtaining Shadowing
We provide guidance on how to approach shadowing opportunities so you can begin observing mediation in practice and develop your confidence after qualification.
Guidance on Voluntary Mediation Work
We help you understand how to explore voluntary mediation opportunities, including community and voluntary court schemes where appropriate.
Sales and Marketing Pack
You receive a practical sales and marketing pack designed to help you present yourself professionally and begin approaching the market for paid mediation work.
Help With Joining Court Panels
We provide guidance on approaching court panels and understanding how to explore court-connected mediation opportunities, while recognizing that requirements vary by court, county, organization and panel.
Documentation and Resource Pack
You receive a documentation and resource pack containing the core materials you need to start your own mediation practice and run your own cases professionally.
Ongoing Support and Mentoring
You receive ongoing support and mentoring that does not expire. You can ask for guidance on whatever you need help with as you begin taking your next steps as a mediator.
Ongoing Guidance
You Are Not Left to Work It Out Alone
A major part of the Align Mediation approach is the support you receive after training. We understand that becoming qualified is only one part of the process. The next challenge is learning how to use the qualification in practice.
That is why we provide practical hand-holding after the course, helping you think through shadowing, voluntary experience, marketing, court panels, documentation, case setup and the early stages of building a mediation practice.
Whether you need help understanding where to start, how to present yourself, how to approach opportunities or how to handle practical issues as they arise, you can continue to come back to us for support.
The Align Difference
More Than a Certificate
Many training providers focus only on getting you through the course. Align Mediation is different. We want students to leave not only with a qualification, but with a clearer understanding of how to begin using it.
Our post-qualification support is designed for people who want to build confidence, credibility and momentum after completing their mediation training.
