“Nicola's considerable experience and expertise provided a valuable insight into the world of Civil mediation. She is very personable and easy to learn from, balancing everyone's level of expertise within in the group. The course materials were conveyed in an effective way, the use of real case studies allowed you to gain very valuable experience. It is an intense course, but I found it both thought provoking, inspiring and really good fun and would highly recommend training with Crowther Mediation.”
