Those interested in mediation training should contact trainers directly to learn about training dates, times, locations, and fees. Anyone interested in becoming certified to provide the 40-hour course should contact the Commission's office. An applicant seeking to be certified as a superior court mediator by the Dispute Resolution Commission may be able to receive partial credit toward the 40-hour course required by Rule 8.A. for training received in other States and not approved by the Commission or training conducted in North Carolina by a trainer not certified by the Commission. Such training must cover the majority of the curriculum set forth in Mediated Settlement Conference Rule 9 and reflect an approach to mediation that is similar to that which has evolved in North Carolina, i.e., cases are court-ordered; attorneys participate in the sessions; there is use of caucusing; and the mediator serves as case manager. Such an approach must be reflected in the course demonstration and role-play opportunities. Those interested in obtaining partial credit for courses taken should contact the Commission's office. Partial credit cannot be given for victim-offender, EEOC, arbitration, postal service, or other training that does not mirror the context or practice of North Carolina's Mediated Settlement Conference Program.
