Overview | Benefits | Program Experience | Trainer Resources | Dates and Fees

MTI’s Certified Trainer (CT) in Workplace Conflict Resolution is an all-in-one, train-the-trainer solution nested within the MTI Certified Mediator and Trainer Program. Coaches and trainers will be prepared to teach practical mediation techniques for managing workplace conflict. Following the program, trainers are certified to deliver MTI’s conflict resolution seminars within their organization.

Participants learn the MTI method of Workplace Conflict Resolution and how to deliver the MTI seminar modules: Necessary Knowledge (NK), Successful Conflict Conversations (SCC) and Third-Party Resolution (TPR).

The certification also features the Conflict Dynamics Profile (CDP), an individual assessment that increases self-awareness and improves conflict management skills. By completing the program, participants become certified to present, administer and provide feedback on the CDP-Individual (CDP-I) Assessment.

Who should attend this Conflict Resolution Training?

The Certified Trainer in Workplace Conflict Resolution (CT Program) is for professionals who want to train others in conflict resolution and basic mediation.

The program is ideal for:

• Human Resource professionals and leaders within organizations who are responsible for training and development.
• External training consultants and mediators who want to conduct these seminars with clients.

Certified to Deliver Conflict Resolution Seminars for Individuals, Managers and Teams

Following certification, participants can deliver three conflict resolution seminar modules. Designed for individuals and managers, each module offers world-renowned content and a practical conflict resolution process that is applicable to all industries:

• Necessary Knowledge (NK) establishes the core competencies of conflict resolution and how to think strategically about conflict, rather than react blindly to it, and is a prerequisite for,
• Successful Conflict Conversations (SCC) teaches individuals to mediate their own conflicts and how their behavior is impacting others (Self-As-Mediator), or
• Third-Party Resolution (TPR) prepares managers to take a proactive mediation role to resolve conflict between two other individuals (Manager-as-Mediator).

Certification in the Conflict Dynamics Profile-Individual (CDP-I) Assessment

As part of the program, participants are also certified to administer and deliver the Conflict Dynamics Profile-Individual (CDP-I) version. The CDP-I is a powerful assessment that helps individuals and teams understand how they respond during conflict, what triggers can escalate conflict and how to manage conflict more effectively.

• Individuals benefit from understanding their conflict behaviors through an individual feedback report, along with a Development Guide that provides information and tips for coping with conflict and building strong interpersonal relationships.
• The CDP-I group report opens up the door for effective conversations about acceptable responses to conflict and how certain behaviors might inadvertently trigger irritation in their colleagues, as well as how to avoid pushing these hot buttons.

The CDP-I can be used with the MTI seminars, as part of a standalone workshop or in individual and team coaching.

CT Program participants have the additional benefit of understanding their own conflict behaviors by taking the CDP-I and receiving their own personal profile as part of this certification process.

The Certified Trainer in Workplace Conflict Resolution (CT Program) is a comprehensive program divided into three unique learning phases which include 1) pre-work, 2) in-person or live online training, and 3) a one-on-one session with an MTI Master Trainer.
