On 22 & 23 July 2022, The APCAM Certified Trainers Training Programme (International Mediation) was successfully launched.
The programme is the first of its kind, jointly organised by the Academy of International Dispute Resolution and Professional Negotiation (AIDRN) and the Asia Pacific Centre for Arbitration and Mediation (ACPAM), which aims to cultivate high-quality international mediation trainers. Four esteemed international mediation training experts (Prof. Francis Law, Prof. Rajesh Sharma, Mr. Anil Xavier and Ms. Delcy Lagones De Anglim), who worked closely on drafting the UNCITRAL’s Singapore Mediation Convention, conducted the 2-day intensive and interactive training sessions for the participants. 14 mediation training experts from the Asia -Pacific region joined the Online class to learn the most advanced knowledge and the delivery of international mediation content, particularly the APCAM professional system and the delivery of the “Singapore Mediation Convention” of the UNCITRAL, including its applicability, procedures and challenges through case study discussions and practice sessions.
We congratulate all successful graduates for achieving the prestigious qualification as the APCAM Certified International Mediation Trainers. They are now the destinated trainers for international mediation courses organized by all 21 Mediation Centers and Arbitration Centers in the Asia Pacific and Europe.
The next cohort of the APCAM Certified Trainers Training Programme (International Mediation) is expected to be launched in the first quarter of next year (Q1 of 2023). We look forward to seeing more mediation specialists joining the APCAM Certified Trainer team.
