It is my pleasure to inform you also that our new 50 hour Professional Mediation training program will be launched in July this year and it is now enhanced and contains new extra content. We have included new and more recent and relevant content to the ever evolving conflict scenarios in our African context and in tandem with current international standards for professional mediation training. Our new program contains the latest techniques in mediation practice that will aid the practitioner to navigate through difficult conflict terrains. The new program has two components, The first one is training and the second one is assessment. The Assessment phase has three components: 1), Role-plays; 2) a Reflective Practice; and 3) a Written Examination. Those who have already undergone our professional mediation training program will not miss anything; they will gradually be brought to speed on the new programs through our regular refresher courses and quarterly round table seminars.
The Institute of Chartered Mediators and Conciliators (ICMC)  will shortly embark on a recruitment drive of its new membership. If you are trained and certified as a professional mediator you are eligible to apply for membership, Recruitment forms will be posted on our website and the ICMC website shortly.

We have launched New training Manuals and Modules. They are comprehensive, easy to read and relevant to our local African context and conflict situations, though they can also be used internationally across all cultures. The manuals will be used in our training and issued free of charge during refresher courses.

We have partnered with the Legal Resource Foundation Trust (LRFT) to produce local Mediation Videos (acted by our local Kenyan artists) to be used in our training and also to sensitize the public about the mediation process. The videos will be launched very soon and you will be notified.

Our mentorship program will be launched on 1st of July 2018. We are in the process of registering mentors to assist in the program . Mentors will undergo a four hour certification training program before they engage in the mentorship process. Once we have a pool of mentors, we will then open registration for mentees .
