About Advance Dispute Resolution Centre PLT
ADRC is founded upon the inspiration derived from Tan Sri Dato’ Seri (Dr.) Haji Mohd Yussof Latiff’s vision to create a harmonious multicultural society. ADRC’s primary objective is to train people with the right calibre to undertake the mammoth task of resolving social disputes. In order to achieve this, ADRC takes upon the role of training and coaching future alternative dispute resolution practitioners.
The mediation course is designed and co-created jointly with the Graduate School of Business, Universiti Sains Malaysia.
Congratulations to ADRC!
IMI Certified Mediator Training Programs, or CMTPs, meet international competency criteria for mediation training excellence. Individuals who complete CMTPs are able to become recognised as ‘IMI Qualified Mediators’. CMTPs can be searched here.
As of June 2021, IMI decided to recognize training delivered in part or entirely online as meeting the standards required of IMI CMTPs. Therefore, the Training Criteria now applies equally to programs that deliver training in-person, in hybrid formats, and online. View IMI’s training criteria.
The minimum standards for training that IMI has set has been accepted by the European Commission for Efficiency of Justice – “CEPEJ“ as the minimum European standard (and indirectly by the EU which accepts and looks onto Council of Europe standards – please see https://www.coe.int/en/web/portal/european-union and the Memorandum of Understanding between the Council of Europe and the European Union). As such, IMI is the only organisation in the world whose standards have been adopted by an intergovernmental standard-setting organisation.
IMI is the only organisation in the world that transcends local jurisdictions to develop global, professional standards for mediators and advocates involved in collaborative dispute resolution and negotiation.
