The postgraduate certificate is a practice-oriented course that allows you to act as a recognised family mediator.

Is this programme right for you?

Are you a welfare worker with a higher education qualification and experience in the field of social or legal work? And are you looking for extra training to allow you to act as a recognised mediator either independently or within an organisation? Do you want to work in an assisting role as a (professional) mediator in conflicts? Then this postgraduate certificate is the right choice.

What will you learn?
