Practicum Opportunities
Court Mediation Practicum Program
The Court Mediation Practicum Program has been designed to provide an opportunity for trained but inexperienced mediators to practice mediation skills in a high quality practicum environment. Participants in the program take part in 10 Small Claims Court mediations of approximately two hours each. Practicum mediations are scheduled in Victoria, Nanaimo, Robson Square (Vancouver), North Vancouver and Surrey registries. These mediations are supervised by mentors who assist the mediators to prepare for and conduct each mediation, and provide constructive feedback following each mediation.
Completion of the Practicum depends upon mediator availability and volume of cases referred to the program. Cancellations of mediations by parties may delay completion. The average mediator completes the Practicum in 3 to 5 months.
