Created in 1998, the Conflict Management Certificate Program has become a versatile and well-rounded professional development program in conflict management, mediation and leadership. The program delivers skills-based training workshops led by accomplished, internationally recognized practitioners and academics invested in learner success. The workshops incorporate a transformative approach to conflict that places people and relationships at the center.
