IMI Recognition
The ICADRP 40-Hour Signature Mediation Training is an IMI Recognized Mediator Training Program (RMTP).

Important Information About IMI Qualified Mediator Recognition
Successful completion of the ICADRP 40-Hour Signature Mediation Training does not automatically confer IMI Qualified Mediator status. Participants who successfully complete the programme are eligible to apply individually to IMI for recognition as an IMI Qualified Mediator within five years of completing the programme, subject to the applicable IMI requirements and registration process.
IMI Qualified Mediator recognition is a separate recognition process administered by the International Mediation Institute. Completion of an IMI Recognized Mediator Training Programme therefore provides an eligibility pathway to apply for IMI Qualified Mediator recognition; it does not itself constitute IMI Qualified Mediator recognition.
For current requirements and registration procedures, applicants should consult the International Mediation Institute.
