Mediator Experience Day: 4 CMC Points + Full Annual CPD

Gain four CMC Observation and Experience Points, complete your annual CMC CPD and receive detailed professional feedback in one practical day.

The Mediator Experience Day is designed for trained mediators who need experience, evidence and meaningful professional development- not another day of passive learning.

That means you can gain:

  • Four CMC Observation and Experience Points

  • Your full annual CMC CPD requirement

  • Practical mediation experience

  • A detailed written assessment report

  • A potential route to Hunt ADR Accredited Mediator status

Move four points closer to CMC Registered Mediator status

Successful completion of MED counts as two approved mock mediations worth two points each - providing four of the ten Observation and Experience Points required for a new CMC Registered Mediator application. The remaining CMC requirements must be met through real mediations and observations.

One day. Four professional outcomes.

1. Gain four CMC Observation and Experience Points

Successfully complete two approved mock mediations and gain two points for each—a total of four points towards a new CMC Registered Mediator application.

2. Complete your annual CMC CPD requirement

Complete the full annual CMC requirement for mediation-specific CPD through practical participation, reflection and professional feedback.

3. Test yourself against challenging, realistic cases

The mock mediations are deliberately designed to test you. These are not straightforward exercises with an obvious path to settlement.

You will need to manage difficult dynamics, respond to unexpected developments, exercise judgement and adapt your approach—bringing you as close as possible to the pressure and uncertainty of a real mediation within a safe learning environment.

4. Work towards Hunt ADR accreditation

If you trained with another provider, MED may also provide a route to Hunt ADR Accredited Mediator status.

Where your previous training is eligible and you achieve the required assessment standard, your assessed mediation can operate as a conversion assessment.

What happens and what will you receive?

During the live online day, you will:

  • Act as mediator in a recorded mock mediation

  • Participate in two further approved mock mediations

  • Work with realistic case papers and challenging party dynamics

  • Receive live facilitation and structured professional feedback

  • Reflect on your decisions, interventions and overall approach

  • Receive a detailed written assessment report and completion certificates

Your assessment will consider your preparation, management of the mediation process, communication, judgement, handling of difficult dynamics and approach to settlement and closure.

Cohorts are deliberately kept small so that everyone has a meaningful role and receives individual attention.

Who is the Mediator Experience Day for?

MED is suitable for trained and accredited mediators, including those who:

  • Are working towards CMC Registered Mediator status

  • Have recently completed their training and need practical experience

  • Trained elsewhere and would like to pursue Hunt ADR accreditation

  • Need to complete their annual mediation-specific CPD

  • Want to test or refresh their skills through challenging case scenarios

You do not need to have trained with Hunt ADR to attend.

Frequently asked questions

Will MED give me all ten points required for CMC Registered Mediator status?

No. MED can provide four of the ten required Observation and Experience Points.

The CMC requires at least six points to come from mediating or observing real commercial or workplace mediations. Its rules also include requirements concerning the observation of CMC Registered Mediators, Fellows or members of a CMC Registered Provider’s panel.

MED provides the maximum four points currently available through two approved mock mediations. Registration decisions remain with the Civil Mediation Council.

You can read the CMC Observation and Experience Points rules here.

Can MED lead to Hunt ADR accreditation?

Potentially, yes. If you trained with another provider and your original training meets the eligibility requirements, your assessed mediation may operate as a conversion assessment.

Hunt ADR Accredited Mediator status is awarded where the required assessment standard is achieved. Please contact us before booking if this is one of your objectives.

What evidence will I receive?

Following successful completion, you will receive certificates recording your mediation-specific CPD and approved mock mediation experience, together with a detailed written assessment report.
