RW Conciliator Certificate

Promoting Justice and Reconciliation as a Biblical Mediator

Please see our Academic Catalog for information on how this course relates to and synchronizes with other courses and training tracks.

This course is currently under construction. You may begin completing prerequisites at your convenience.

Purpose: RW Conciliator training will equip you to mediate disputes between others by improving communication and understanding, promoting reconciliation through mutual confession and forgiveness, and assisting them in negotiating a voluntary settlement of their differences (see Guiding People Through Conflict and Handbook for Christian Conciliation).

RW360’s mediation methodology depends heavily on the ability to coach parties individually before and during the conciliation process so that instead of engaging in an adversarial or competitive dialogue, each party is assisted in recognizing his or her responsibility for the problem and for its solution (see Matt. 7:1-5; Phil. 2:1-4). Therefore, our conciliator training requires several hours of coaching training prior to mediation training.

Cost: $395 | Study: 16 hours | Application: 14 hours | Total Time: 30 hours

Prerequisites: (1) Introduction to Coaching Certificate; (2) Coaching Skills Certificate; and (3) Conflict Coaching Certificate.

Training Requirements: Read and summarize one relevant book, complete two online lessons (Interest Based Negotiation and Biblical Mediation) and one online practicum, and complete 10 hours of practical experience.

Peace Sower Team: Individuals who complete this training will be prepared to serve on a Peace Sower Team in their church, ministry or business.

Further Training: Students who complete this course are eligible to pursue an Advanced RW Conciliator Certificate and a Certified RW Conciliator Certificate.

For more information, see RW360 Academic Catalog.


* The new conciliation courses and practicums are scheduled for release during the second half of 2022. If you plan to pursue this certificate, you may begin completing the prerequisite coach training at your convenience.
