About Fundamentals of Mediation

CNDR’s Fundamentals of Mediation is a respected 40-hour basic comprehensive mediation practitioner training that draws participants from across California and around the world. This program provides a unique blend of mediation theory, hands-on mediation skills training, and an exploration of the sensibilities and personal qualities required to be an effective mediator. Participants who attend and actively engage with the full program receive the certificate of completion depicted below.

Beginning in October 2026, CNDR will also issue certificates to participants who both complete the training program and subsequently pass a skills assessment to become an International Mediation Institute Qualified Mediator. More information about those certificates will be available once issued, and more information about the IMI’s qualification program is available here.
