"The AMSI course was a game changer for me. I went in with an interest in mediation and came out knowing that I wanted to pursue dispute resolution as part of my future career. Jo Christie"

What To Expect:

AMSI is designed to build critical, transferable skills for managing conflict that you can apply in both professional and personal contexts. You’ll learn:

• Effective conflict management strategies and practical skills for navigating people-related challenges.

• Negotiation styles and how to work effectively with each, understanding the process of negotiation and its close relationship with mediation.

• The mediation framework and the key pre-mediation and formative stages of the process.

Learning is reinforced through realistic practice scenarios and guided sessions led by experienced dispute resolution practitioners.

On completion of the programme, you will receive a certificate and 10 CPD points. (In Aotearoa New Zealand, there is no official compulsory qualification for practising as a mediator.)
