What Do You Need to Become a Mediator | #Mediation with Bob Bordone //
Have you ever wondered, what do you need to become a mediator? Many people often ask me questions like, what does it take to be a mediator, what does it take to be a divorce mediator or legal mediator? Or, how long does it take to become a mediator, do you need a law degree to be a mediator? These are all great questions and in this video, I'm going to share what mediators do, the different types of mediators, and what you can do to become a mediator.

Thank you for sharing and also providing real life examples to further educate the newbies

[@956rrios]

Interested in becoming a mediator, mostly for a career change but also because it's very interesting. Still trying to figure things out and see how I can do this

[@shawncharmb]

I am in the process. Thank you for this video. You have a great voice for explaining things clearly. I appreciated the breakdown.

[@bobbordone2422]

I'm so glad you found this helpful. Thanks for letting me know. This kind of feedback is really useful.

[@karinturkington2455]

You have a beautifully human personality and style of presenting these videos. I had a non-neutral, corrupt mediator who was aligned with my wealthy partner and his aggressive lawyer. Even though I paid my lawyer $50,000, he was unable or unwilling to advocate on my behalf, so I came away with a very bad agreement which resulted in my current impoverishment..

Karin - Thanks for your very kind words. I'm so sorry to hear about this terrible experience in mediation. In so many places there is little regulation of mediators and even less training. Ugh. Just terrible. I'm sorry you had to go through this experience. Thank you so much for watching my channel.

Thank you Soo much . I actually studied LSAT and took the exam because… I thought you HAD to know law to do this. Thankfully an actual law school pointed me in the direction of the certificates I needed to add to my college degree .. though I LOVE law…. She saved me 200,000.00.. I’m following your videos now.. THANK YOU

[@bobbordone2422]

Welcome!! Congrats to the world of mediating!

[@manadziveasv2418]

Are you also a lawyer?

[@siletablu3905]

@@manadziveasv2418 Hey 👋. Marriage and Family Therapist.

[@dr.debbiewilliams]

Sir, this is from one year ago. I already acted as a Mediator.

[@manadziveasv2418]

Do you have to be a lawyer to become a mediator, for example, family law issues are resolved by a mediator but do you also have to be a lawyer

[@AdrianNdG]

What are the education requirements to become a mediator?

[@bobbordone2422]

It depends on the jurisdiction. Most jurisdictions don't require any particular degree but may require you to take a certification course. Even if no formal certification is required, getting some training -- and watching some videos here - will help you!

[@mahnoorsaleem8779]

Hi, I'm a Law graduate and interested in a mediation course. Could you please guide if any university is offering it online?
