Mediation Training

Mediation training is a seminar focused on the theory and practice of conflict resolution skills necessary for an individual to apply to become listed as a TN Rule 31 mediator. Trainings are either a 40 hour general civil mediation course or 46 hour family mediation course. The Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) ensures that mediation trainings comply with Rule 31 requirements, approves listing applications, and oversees court-related mediation under Rule 31. NCRC requires that volunteers be Rule 31 trained.
