Help Your Community! Become a Mediator with our FREE Training 1024 683 Consumer & Business

 

The Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs (DCBA) is offering a 30 hour basic mediation skills training workshop. People who take our training learn how to understand and manage conflict in their lives and are able to help diffuse conflict among others, both in personal and professional arenas. We offer dispute resolution skills that can be used in everyday conflicts and in formal mediation settings. Our goal is to provide you with skills that will be useful when resolving a conflict.

This course introduces the core principles and methods of Alternative Dispute Resolution. DCBA will train volunteers to mediate community and day-of-hearing disputes including landlord-tenant, neighbor-to-neighbor, general disputes, business-to-business, consumer-merchant, billing issues, property damage, workplace, and interpersonal conflicts.
