PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

When you build your knowledge and skills, you simultaneously become more efficient and effective in your practice.

Our training courses will help you achieve your career goals by providing practical, hands-on training in industry-specific skills.

You will enhance your skills and effectiveness as a mediator. You’ll learn new communication techniques, conflict resolution strategies, and negotiation tactics that can help you achieve better outcomes for your clients.

As a registered FDRP or accredited AMDRAS mediator, you have ongoing obligations and requirements that must be met. All of our training will help you meet your CPD point requirements.

In addition, GPD offers a membership program with live and on-demand webinars, resources and a community of like-minded professionals.

MASTERCLASS SERIES

More than just training, more than just theory. A GPD Masterclass is an educational experience that incorporates practice, reflection and improvement opportunities applied in real life and real time.

Our trainers are practising mediators/FDRPs. They teach at the finest educational institutions and deliver training to some of the largest companies. They have designed each training to ensure you learn and practice relevant skills and tools that can be applied instantly.

All the MasterClasses are small group trainings, so you can expect individual attention and mentoring throughout, and the opportunity to meet and connect with your peers.

CORPORATE TRAINING

Being a leader in the modern world requires character, competencies and skills.

We develop training for CEOs, managers and team leaders that will enhance their key strengths, and develop their skills in creating a harmonious work environment and removing barriers to productivity and success.

The GPD team are leaders in their field and offer courses and workshops delivered online or in-person.
