OAFM Trainer/Educator Accreditation
As part of OAFM's program to professionalize some aspects of family mediation services offered to the public, it embarked on an accreditation program. Mediators with certain number of hours of training, an appropriate professional background, and some experience, can be qualified as Accredited Family Mediators (Acc. FM.).
OAFM in the near future will provide the accreditation process for family mediation trainers and educators.
The accreditation of courses will result in a recognition by OAFM of these courses as providing defined hours towards the Acc.FM.(OAFM) accreditation. Thus, those looking for the accreditation will be able to determine which courses they should take to achieve the Acc.FM. (OAFM) status.
