Licensure Disclosures
This Certificate in Mediation is designed to provide training in mediation practices. Mediation is generally not state-licensed professions in New Mexico. However, individuals who wish to handle court-referred, court-ordered, or court-connected mediation or arbitration matters may be required to meet additional court, roster, training, experience, or professional requirements. This program is not designed to lead directly to state licensure in New Mexico. Participants should contact the appropriate court, agency, employer, or professional organization to confirm whether additional requirements apply for the type of mediation or arbitration work they intend to perform.
Students intending to work outside New Mexico should research requirements in the state where they intend to work, as requirements for court-referred, court-ordered, or court-connected cases vary by state and jurisdiction.
This course is not suitable for students in Arkansas or Georgia who desire to handle court-referred or court-ordered cases.
