IPMO does not deliver training directly nor is it a training provider. IPMO directly accredits foundational mediation training programmes that successfully complete an assessment against a competency and standard accreditation framework approved by the Board; and on the basis of equivalence. 

IPMO directly accredits 32 Hour Family (Separating Couples) training programmes and recognises Family (Separating Couples) training courses previously and currently accredited by the MII, both the 32 hour and the 40 hour Family (Separating Couples) training programmes.  Any person who has completed an IPMO-recognised foundational mediation training programme may apply for membership as a Qualified NQ member or where they have completed the practice requirements may apply for Qualified Q or Certified member status. Members who are Qualified NQ but have not yet completed the mandatory family mediation training may co-mediate on a family mediation, with a lead mediator who has completed the required training.

Details of IPMO accredited training courses are available on our Upcoming Courses page
