Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements
Certification or Licensing
The National Association of Certified Mediators offers voluntary certification to new or experienced mediators who meet experience requirements and pass an examination. Visit https://www.mediatorcertification.org for more information.
Some states require CRSs to complete 20 to 40 hours of training in order to become certified to work on certain types of cases.
Conflict resolution professionals may be required to obtain certification or licensing in their original profession. For example, every state requires that lawyers be admitted to the bar of that state before they can practice. An arbitrator who is also a practicing lawyer must also be admitted to the bar of his or her state.
