InBrief

The Bar Association has arranged for the Australian International Disputes Centre (AIDC) to host a 1 day mediator course with a skills demonstration component. The course is designed with the following participants in mind:

• barristers who are seeking re-accreditation as a mediator in 2013 and require additional mediation practice hours or continuing education points as required under the National Standards;
• barristers who are seeking accreditation for the first time and who completed an initial training course prior to 2008. This course will act as a refresher;
• barristers who are due for re-accreditation in 2013 and do have the required 25 hours of mediation experience but would like a refresher; and
• barristers with some experience in mediations who are interested in learning more.

(Please note that this course will not meet the threshold requirements for initial mediation accreditation under the National Standard if you have no other mediation experience – you would be required to complete a 5 day training course)

When: Monday 12 August 2013 or Monday 19 August 2013 Time: 9am-5.30pm Where: AIDC, Level 16, 1 Castlereagh St, Sydney Cost: $595:00 per person (including GST) and includes morning and afternoon teas, lunch, all course materials and certificates. (This is the same price offered in 2012).

Attendance at the one day refresher course will provide 7 CPD points.
