Skills Development Courses : Minimise the Impact of Disputes

Disputes have many costs - some hidden some obvious. These skills will pay for themselves within one year !

As the recession bites, we recognise training budgets are reduced to central skills. We are therefore making all our normal courses available as "In-House" courses, based on the topics below, but adapted to suit your organisational needs and delivered at your premises.

Fees & Early Bird Discount

The fee is £300 per attendee, but drops to £250 per person for over 10 people, whether they are from the same organisation or not.

All prices exclude VAT, but include all course material. If payment is received 28 days before the course date or earlier, the amount paid can be discounted by 10% from the full course fee.

This is the only residential course we operate, although for groups of over 8 we can run this at one location.

General Information

Most courses are run on a Friday and are held at a local Hilton Hotel.

The 6 Day potential mediator's course is residential, based on three Thursday & Friday sessions over 6 weeks and is held at the Hilton Dunkeld House Hotel in Perthshire. You can attend for the first two days and if you decide being a mediator is not for you, you will only be invoiced for those two days

Each course needs a minimum of 8 people booking. If there are insufficient participants, you will not be charged and will be offered a place on the next course date.
