NOTE:
These standards were developed in 2015 and TMTR changed the minimum time for this course from four hours to two hours on September 9, 2022. So, any reference to a four-hour minimum should now be corrected to two hours.
Course Description
This two-hour course covers the 40-Hour Basic Mediation Training curriculum established by the Texas Mediation Trainers Roundtable (TMTR) that deals with Texas-specific ADR law, Standards of Practice, Codes of Ethics and Professional Considerations.
