Continuing Mediator Education (CME) Requirements

Westbay Mediation provides mediation training and continuing mediator education (CME) courses for Florida Supreme Court certified mediators and Georgia Registered Neutrals. In Florida, our courses meet the certification renewal standards for certified mediators as defined by the Florida Supreme Court Committee on Alternative Dispute Resolution (AOSC11-1), and in Georgia we are approved to offer CME courses by the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution. Generally Florida certified mediators are required to complete at least 16 hours of CME credits every two years. Also depending on your level of certification these hours must include; mediator ethics, domestic violence, diversity & cultural awareness. While in Georgia, registered neutrals are required to complete three hours of ethics training each year.
