CCRE Training

Training & Events

Training and awareness events play a vital role in the Centre’s mission to promote and increase the appropriate use of alternative dispute resolution processes.

Effective training for both practitioners and decision makers gives participants an understanding of dispute resolution techniques and their applicability to business, organisational and congregational life.

In addition to our general training, the Centre also provides customised training for agencies, businesses, and congregations. Please contact the Centre if you have more than 15 people to train in dispute resolution processes.
