Starting something new can be exciting — and sometimes overwhelming. If you've recently enrolled in the Mediation Skills Certificate of Training course and you're not quite sure where to begin, this session is designed to help you get your bearings.

Whether you’re unsure how to approach the theory modules, curious about the role-play process, or simply looking for guidance on what to expect next, this session will give you the clarity and confidence to move forward with purpose.

In this session, we’ll walk you through:

• A clear overview of the AMDRAS course structure, timelines, and expectations
• How to get started with your theory content and what to focus on first
• What to look for and how to take notes when observing a mediation role-play
• Tips on managing your time, meeting your practical requirements, and staying on track
• Common questions from new students — answered by our experienced training team

This is your opportunity to connect, ask questions, and feel supported as you begin your pathway to becoming a nationally accredited mediator. You’ll leave the session with a better understanding of how all the pieces of your training fit together and how to get the most out of each stage of the course.

If you're feeling a little lost, you're not alone — and you're in the right place.

We look forward to supporting you as you take your first steps into the world of facilitative mediation.
