Overview

Community-Based Conflict Resolution training is unique in its inclusive approach to finding win-win solutions for everyone involved, and laying the groundwork for lasting, long-term solutions, whether for individuals, community groups, government, or industry.

Third Party Neutral Training gives its participants the skills to guide the process by which parties in conflict identify the underlying causes of conflict and, thereby, begin to develop solutions. As part of their training, Third Party Neutrals learn:

• to remain objective and not take on the burden of conflict;
• to listen and be non-judgmental;
• to be flexible and change their roles as the conflict resolution process evolves;
• to use conciliation, negotiation techniques, mediation, facilitation and group processes to assist quarrelling parties in finding a common understanding of their problems.

TPN is principle-driven, skills-based, experiential training that allows participants to develop the good judgement and sense of timing needed to move the conflict resolution process along.

Third Party Neutral training is offered in four modules. Each module is five days of active training. A certificate is awarded for each module completed. Participants who complete all four courses receive a 160-hour Third Party Neutral program Certificate.
