The Training Progression

To become a mediator through training with the Multi-Door Division, an applicant must fulfill ALL requirements listed below within the prescribed time. A candidate must:

• Apply to and be selected for training with one of the mediation programs within the Multi-Door Division (Family, Child Protection, Small Claims, Landlord/Tenant, or Civil). Successfully complete mediation training.
• Within 6 months of finishing specialized training, successfully complete a mentorship specific to the applicable mediation program. The exact duration and schedule varies by program and by the individual progress of a prospective mediator, but will not exceed 6 months.
• Mediate 3-6 cases, as specified by the applicable program, without a stipend payment.
• After fulfilling the obligation to mediate without a stipend, a mediator must successfully complete a 1-year probation period during which stipends will be provided. Mediators are expected to participate regularly throughout the probation year. Participation requirements vary by program and will be outlined in the training solicitation announcement. The requirement does not create an obligation for the program to supply a prospective mediator with the guaranteed number of hours. Based on the program's case load, the number of hours may be less. Until a 1-year commitment is fulfilled, an applicant is considered on probation and is not formally placed on the mediation roster.
