THE DIVORCE MEDIATION CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
The Divorce Mediation Certificate Program - relied upon by thousands of mediators across the U.S. since 2010 - is now available in three learning formats:
Live in-person Learning Format - offered in a number of cities throughout the U.S. every year. Participants and CRT Faculty interact over the course of four full days on a physical on-site location.
Online-live Learning Format - offered several times a year. Participants interact with Certified CRT Faculty and other participants in eight weekly four-hour classes, in an online classroom and can attend from home, office or other quiet learning space.
On-demand Learning Format - Participants receive all of the same content and exercises as live participants, except role play exercises, and work through the Certification Program on their own time and at their own pace.
