Course Information

Learn new or add to your existing skills in working more effectively to resolve various types of disputes.  Civil, Commercial, and Employment Mediation Training meets the training requirements of the Oklahoma District Court Mediation Act for civil and commercial mediation in Oklahoma.

Mediation training, however, is broadly applicable beyond court-connected programs. Participants commonly use the skills taught in this course in private civil mediation, workplace and organizational settings, and other non-court contexts. Requirements for court rosters vary by state and program.

This course explains, illuminates, and provides necessary skills for successful mediations, with emphasis on personal injury litigation, commercial disputes, real estate disputes, and employment/discrimination workplace disputes. Registration is open to anyone wanting to develop professional civil mediation skills or add mediation skills to their existing professional role.

There are no specific educational or vocational prerequisites for taking this course. Mediation training focuses on developing facilitation, communication, and conflict resolution skills rather than professional licensure.

Each course is conducted online via Zoom by Dr. Robert Keiter.
