Why Mediation Matters in the Military
Conflict, both big and small, is an inevitable part of human interaction, faced often by all of us. In the military context, where the stakes are high and relationships are critical, effective conflict management leading to effective resolution is essential.
Mediation training for military professionals provides the skills and tools to address disputes constructively and transformatively, to enable mission success and enhance personal leadership skills. Mediators and negotiators are leaders in their own right and mediation and negotiation skills are a key tool in the military leadership arsenal.

I completed my qualification training with IM Campus and i really enjoyed the training, meeting with mediators from all over the world and learning about new skills . it was a very interesting journey
I really enjoyed being part of an international class with teachers/trainers from different national backgrounds. This was inspiring for me as whilst I don’t know where I want to live in the future, I now have an international network and know that I can practice mediation anywhere in the world.
I was looking for a course that could provide me knowledge as well as a certificate with which I could start working and IMC fulfilled these criteria!
I really liked the course, it was rich and practical
I was initially doubtful of using an online platform for a mediator training as I was not sure how we could practice the taught skills throughout the course in this manner. However, this was not the case at all, IMC’s international training worked so well!
Being part of IM Campus was an enriching opportunity actually it was an outstanding adventure. I was able to learn new techniques, improve my mediation skills & most of all made new friends from all over the globe. PROUD TO BE AN IMCAMPUS ALUMNI.
The team of trainers and program developers at IMC did a great job consolidating our team’s understanding of the dynamics of conflict and how to appropriately manage it. The materials and training methodology mixed theory with practical knowledge which was useful for our practitioners. The training
Everything was so enriching and I loved this multicultural class. I think that was the main learning here because we learnt to be an international mediator because this is a huge cross-cultural mediation. When I need a co-mediator from another country, I will remember you.
It was such a privilege to meet such a wonderful group of people. Varied and exciting topic modules, carried out by very competent trainers with diverse backgrounds, have made mediation training a great pleasure. The self-study training sessions made the program super flexible.
Being an IMCampus alumnus is one of my greatest achievements. I was given the opportunity to sublime my mediation skills thanks to professional and skilled mediators; but most of all IMCampus helped me to broaden my horizon becoming the "consensus bridger" that I am now.
If you decide to take a course at IM Campus, you should be ready to:
- a high-level organization of the IMC team
- be taught by highly professional Mediators with a worldwide reputation
- make friends with your classmates
- get additional webinars as a bonus
- injoy the cource
Thank you, IMC, for making this mediator training so interesting! It has triggered inside me a desire to go beyond the course material and to start practicing mediation.
