Your Mediative Style

Supervision & Assessment
Engage in peer coaching and complete a face-to-face role-play, recorded and assessed for IMI qualification—with full guidance from IMC.

We combine structured online learning with rich human interaction, so you learn by doing—not just by listening.
Our approach blends the best of flexibility and accountability. You’ll engage with experienced trainers and diverse learners in real time—while also having the freedom to study at your own pace between sessions.
Accreditation & Certification
IMC Certification and Accreditation
On completion of the 40 Hour IMC Professional Mediation Course, participants are IMC certified and accredited Professional Mediators and they have the fundamental skills to practice mediation in general disputes. In other words, they are an IMC certified, accredited Professional Mediator. They receive a certificate shortly once all attendance data has been confirmed. To practice in specific fields such as Family Mediation and Commercial Mediation students are likely to need other internationally and nationally recognised additional qualifications to practice these specialisations in their own contexts legally.
IMI/SIMI Accreditation
The next step on their Mediation journey with IMC is to achieve accreditation through two recognised International Mediation Institutions: The International Mediation Institute (IMI) and the Singapore International Mediation Institute. This is not mandatory, but it is strongly recommended that all participants undertake the simple steps to be accredited.
To be IMI certified and accredited and SIMI accredited, IMC Course alumni must complete two things: a one hour on-site simulation in your workplace and a written reflection on the simulation which you then submit to IMC and we facilitate your Certificate from IMI and accreditation from SIMI.
ISM University Certificate
All IMC Alumni of our Professional Mediation Course have the opportunity to receive a 3rd Certificate – a University Certificate from the International School of Management (ISM) which is a form of diploma. This entails another 60 hours of on-line self-study. All students on the IMC Mediation Course have access to this self-study course as part of their Mediation package. There is no additional cost. Access is through the Absorb Platform.
Trainer Expertise
The IMC Trainers are highly qualified professionals from over 30 countries, specialising in a variety of thematic areas of mediation. • The primary trainers for this package will be Ian Rigden, the Director of Training for IMC and Mr. Nauman Gul for the in-person training and other IMC Trainers for the on-line package.
