"As a private family mediator this course makes the complexities and the legalities of The Mediation Act 2017 concise and succinct. I logged in, clicked on the course and began. The course was very well presented and the multi-media format and variety of learning methods kept me engaged. The certification and CPD points at the end added to the sense of achievement. I'd recommend this to any of my colleagues."
