            NCRC basic mediation training will provide participants with the fundamental skills needed to mediate a variety of disputes, including: neighbor disputes, landlord/tenant, interpersonal, family, client/customer, roommate, employment disputes and others.  The training has been approved by the Tennessee Supreme Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission as a Rule 31 General Civil training.  NCRC's training is designed to prepare participants to mediate in our Victim Offender, Civil and Community Mediation programs.  NCRC's training is experiential, fun and interactive.    The training is divided into two parts: Part 1, consisting of 30 hours of the fundamental skills in mediation, and Part 2, an additional 10 hours of mediation ethics and cross-cultural skills for those who seek to fulfill the requirements for Rule 31.  Meals, snacks and training materials will be provided.
