IS THE MEDIATION TRAINING ACCREDITED?

The ADR International Register administrates an international standard in the Alternative Dispute Resolution industries. They are based in the Netherlands and have been operational in SA since 2016 from their Randburg branch.

​

The organisation has provided over 10,000 certifications to professionals across a range of fields and is itself ISO 9001 certified (audited by Lloyds).

​

The South African Association of Mediators (SAAM) is a non-profit governing body, established in 1988. It is a regulatory body for its members and is involved in mediation through education and training.

​

SAAM sets standards and procedures for mediators across a number of disciplines within the mediation industry and presents workshops and masterclasses on a regional basis.

​

The National Accreditation Board for Family Mediators emerged in 2010 from the need for a national accrediting body that promotes mediation and ethical standards and integrity of practicing family mediators in SA, and which is also aimed at promoting transformation in the industry.
