As a prerequisite for attending the 40-hour FFS training, applicant must demonstrate a basic understanding of N.C. family law, per the NCDRC Policy on Compliance on Family Financial Settlement Rule 8(a)(1), (an applicant may waive out of this requirement or complete an approved 12-hour NCBA course on the basics of family law).
Those interested in mediation training should contact trainers directly to learn about training dates, times, locations, and registration fees. Anyone interested in providing the 40-hour course should contact the Commission's office.
Partial credit toward this 40-hour training requirement can sometimes be given for mediation training completed in other states. If you have training to submit for partial credit, please contact the Commission’s office. Mediators who hold MSC certification though this Commission or who can demonstrate that they have met all the requirements for MSC certification, may satisfy the FFS Rule 8.A(2) training requirement by completing a Commission approved 16-hour supplemental course on program rules and ethics in lieu of a 40-hour course.
