Welcome to Professional Practitioners of ADR and Global Peace Builders Association
It is a serious mistake to assume that common sense and “being good with people” are sufficient for effective mediation or facilitation, or that a law student without specific training in mediation or facilitation can mediate effectively. Legal skills are very different from the skills and training applied by a mediator or arbitrator or facilitator.
Membership in the ADR Institute of Ontario™ indicates a basic level of training. To be a member of ADRIO™, mediators and arbitrators must establish 40 hours of approved course work.
The ADR Institute of Canada™ Chartered Mediator Accreditation Committee and Chartered Arbitrator Accreditation Committee also award the Chartered Mediator (C.Med) and Chartered Arbitrator (C.Arb) designation respectively. These are the only official Canadian designations available to seasoned practitioners and demonstrate a high level of achievement.
