Transfer your AMDRAS Accreditation to Mi

Transfer your NMAS / AMDRAS Accreditation from another Recognised Accreditation Provider (formerly known as RMABs)

If you transfer, you don't have to pay the AMDRAS Boards' $100 fee until your next renewal, and we will apply a pro rata adjustment to align your national accreditation and Mediation Institute.

NOTE: If you transfer mid-term:

  • We pro-rata our membership fee ($190 a year) from your transfer date to your existing accreditation renewal date.
  • Your AMDRAS accreditation date remains unchanged.
  • Your former RAP is unlikely to refund any membership fees you have paid. Our membership fee is less than $16 per month.
