Our Training

Experience has taught us that the best way for people to develop negotiation, mediation and communication skills is through practice and interactive exercises, rather than lectures. Our workshops in Trinidad & Tobago involve a combination of real case studies, thought-provoking discussions, group exercises, lectures, demonstrations, and videos. Our training is focused, practical and immediately applicable. We use coaches to give you immediate and personalised feedback.  At the end of each workshop, you will leave with a binder of reference materials, a Certificate from the University of Windsor Law School, and a host of new skills.

Completion of the ADR, Advanced ADR, Applied ADR, Dealing With Difficult People Workshops and the online Negotiation and Difficult Conversations courses will give you an Executive Certificate in Conflict Management from the University of Windsor Law School.

Under the guidance of our leading international negotiation and mediation trainers, you will hone your skills in an environment that offers the opportunity for intensive practice and self-analysis.  Our joint ADR and Advanced ADR/Mediation Programmes are accredited by the Mediation Board of T&T.
