IMI is delighted to announce the recognition of The ADR Initiative as meeting IMI’s competency criteria required of a Certified Mediator Training Program (CMTP) to deliver training in person and online!
Consequently, individuals who successfully complete their CMTP will be eligible to become IMI Qualified Mediators should they choose to apply for such recognition with IMI.

About The ADR Initiative
The ADR Initiative LLP began in 2019 as a dream to bring dispute resolution out of the dark in Pakistan. We are proud to say that we have been training mediators, around 100 or more per year, and building dispute resolution systems in Pakistan since then. We have had the honour of working with some of the finest minds and talents in dispute resolution from all over the world. We have been humbled and enlightened by the enormous support we have received since we began this journey. This has culminated in our penultimate achievement, today, when we have been recognized by the IMI.
We hope to do right by it and continue our mission, of bringing dispute resolution out of the dark. You all are welcome to join us in our journey and become part of the ADRi family.
Congratulations to The ADR Initiative!
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.
Interested in having your organisation’s training or assessment program appraised against IMI’s international standards? See how to Register a Program here.
I would like to pay my fee for next year’s membership in the IMI now. Can I do that, or do I need to wait until I receive an invoice? The reason I ask is that we have certain budgetary constraints and money available to memberships in the IMI will be much more restrictive.
Thank you,
Sam
