The goal of the Family Mediation Certificate is to provide quality education and training in mediation within a family context that may be applied towards the minimum training requirements of Family Mediation Canada for certification as a Family Relations Mediator. This 20-credit certificate is 280 hours or 40 days long and is awarded upon successful completion of all classroom and online course requirements and an assessment.

The Family Mediation Certificate is a joint offering from two divisions of the Justice Institute: the Centre for Conflict Resolution and the Corrections and Community Justice Division (CCJD). The CCJD courses are delivered online or by correspondence, while the Centre for Conflict Resolution courses are delivered in classrooms at various locations in British Columbia and at the University of Calgary.

Courses may be counted towards Family Mediation Canada certification to the extent that the subject matter complies with the requirements in the FMC Practice Certification and Training Standards 2003.
