"Finally, the Professional Mediator and Paralegal Training Course that Allows You to Study From Home... and Costs Almost Nothing to Get Started!"

Start a rewarding profitable, rewarding career today...

You can earn a Professional Mediator Certificate or Paralegal Diploma without ever entering a classroom.

Dear Future Student,

Yes, you really can make a successful living as a Professional Mediator or Paralegal.

 

But first, let us share a story with you…

 

Twenty years ago, a little girl, Judy, aged nine wanted to bake a cake to surprise her parents. She went into the kitchen and starting mixing together flour, sugar, chocolate chips, ice cream and just about anything else she could find that looked good.

 

You can probably imagine how it turned out. It wasn’t a pretty sight. Judy ended up with a big mess and something (she couldn’t even call it a cake) that tasted absolutely horrible.

 

Now today, if she’s baking a cake – she’ll start with a recipe. Judy now measures out all the ingredients and follows the exact instructions on the recipe. Now her cakes turns out pretty good and she even gets a couple compliments.

 

Okay, but what does any of this have to do with becoming a professional mediator or paralegal?

 

Actually lots!

 

You see, becoming a certified professional mediator without a proven plan is a lot like trying to bake a cake without a recipe…you’ll only end up making lots of mistakes, a big mess and wasting a bunch of money.

 

Seems pretty easy, right? But the truth is, we’ve found more people confused, perplexed, puzzled and just plain baffled about becoming a professional mediator. And who wouldn’t be? There is so much information on the internet.

 

The problem is who can you believe online?

 

The American Center for Conflict Resolution Institute is a nationally accredited career college. The American Center for Conflict Resolution Institute is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC), Washington D.C. The Accrediting Commission of the DETC is listed by the U.S. Department of Education as a nationally recognized accrediting agency and is a recognized member of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. Visit their website at http://www.detc.org. ACCRI has been in business since 1998 and we are accredited members of the Better Business Bureau.

 

Further, we are approved by the Ohio Board of Career Colleges and Schools. We stand behind our promises and we cherish our excellent reputation. Click here to view our BBB reliability report.

If you can conceive it and believe it, you can achieve it

 

Imagine for a moment that it is 6 to 12 months from today...

Suppose you could enroll in our correspondence course and become a Certified Professional Business and Family Mediator and/or a Paralegal.

Imagine that in the next 6 to 12 months you will be earning an additional $50,000 as a respected and Certified Professional Business and Family Mediator and/or Paralegal.

Sounds too good to be true?

Well, it isn't thanks to the American Center for Conflict Resolution Institute's internationally recognized and respected distance learning Mediator Certificate Course and/or Paralegal Diploma Course.

Think about it. Having a Certificate or diloma from a nationally known educational organization is the best way to quickly add credentials to your resume. Simply put, increased credentials, at a fraction of the cost, means that you can demand more money for your mediation or paralegal services!

In addition, our distance learning Mediator Certificate Course and Paralegal Diploma Course is offered at a fraction of the cost of classroom courses, which means more money in your pocket.

In 1999, the American Center for Conflict Resolution began offering classroom training courses. Students were able to immediately secure positions or start their own practice after completing these courses.

 

Due to the wild success of the “in person” courses, prospective students from around the country wanted to have the ACCRI experience. This lead to the creation of a self-paced, distance learning, instructor supervised courses: The Professional Mediation Certificate Program and the Paralegal Diploma Program.  We combined all of the components of the “in person” course and added several more components.

 

These courses are designed so that almost anybody can follow to begin a career as a Professional Certified Mediator and/or Paralegal. Once you have completed the course you will have the designation of Professional Business and Family Mediator and/or Paralegal.

 

One thing you should know: The resources we use is unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

 

Actually, you’ll think of this as your “cookbook” to becoming a professional mediator and/or paralegal. You simply follow the step-by-step self-paced course materials for the next 6-9 months and we are sure you’ll turbo charge your career opportunities. 

 

We’ve taken all the guesswork out of it and it doesn’t matter how much experience you have. So that means…

 

6 to 12 months from today - your friends won't be laughing at your 'silly ideas about making a living as a Professional Mediator and/or Paralegal

 

Honestly, we couldn’t make it any easier for you if we tried…and the best part is you can start right now!

 

Now, we’re not saying this doesn’t require work. Of course it does. Anything worth achieving does.

 

But, if you simply make a commitment to spend the same time you normally do in front of the TV – completing your lessons – we promise to do everything we can to help you jumpstart your career as a Professional Mediator and/or Paralegal.

 

Here’s What A Few Students and Graduates Had To Say:


In preparing for my new career in mediation I researched extensively to find the best educational opportunity and ACCRI provided exactly what I needed. Because I could work at my own pace I completed the 6 month program in 16 weeks. It not only prepared me for mediation but also gave me the necessary tools to successfully start my own business. The best part was the one on one attention my instructor gave me. She was forthright, fair and honest. I was accepted into the Jefferson County Mediation Services volunteer program for my internship although they were not hiring. The ACCRI credentials I earned were significant in their final decision to accept me into the program. Thank you ACCRI, I am so excited about my future.

Jody O’Malley, Graduate


I want to take the time to thank you for such a fantastic course of study.  I have learned more about Mediation than I ever really expected from a home study program. After spending more than 17 years as a Union Representative dealing in Labor disputes, I only wish that your course was available years ago, as it would have made my Job as a Union Representative much easier and the process much faster with a happier result.

 

As a Certified Paralegal in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, I feel that the background and Education I received from ACCRI to gain my Certification as a Professional Business and Family Mediator will work hand in hand.  This program that is second to none, with a Staff that can not be beat.  I have learned so much from ACCRI, that I could never repay you for the great knowledge that you have shared. 

 

I will highly recommend your School to anyone who is interested in the field of Mediation.  Thank you again for such a fantastic learning experience and a great support staff.

 

Malcolm J. Mitchell, Graduate


As a professional educator, I appreciate the thought that has gone into the presentation of the material and the feedback that's provided along the way.  This is a great way to enter into the world of mediation--thoughtfully and gracefully!

Thomas A. Stapleford Ed.D., Current Student


Your course seems to be everything you said it would be. I have had friends who are in the legal system check all this out and they gave you a very good rating. This course seems to cover all I will need. I have enjoyed what little I have done so far and I look forward to the rest of the lessons.

 

Stephen Hilliard, Current Student

 

 

If you’d like to see why they’re so excited and if you want to watch your mediation career take off, the Professional Mediation Certificate Program or the Paralegal Diploma Course is for you. Whether you're a complete newbie or a seasoned veteran in the mediation or paralegal field, these courses will work for you.

 

The courses have comprehensive lesson plans. You simply open the Student Manual and it walks you through from Day 1 to the end to a career in the chosen profession. Each lesson is laid out for you in complete detail. Nothing is left out.

 

And it doesn’t stop there. One of the biggest problems most people have with other training courses, is that they tell you “what” to do, but they don’t show you exactly how to do it and make sure it gets done!

 

Not here! After explaining each lesson’s activity in full detail you’ll get a practical homework assignment which is graded and feedback is provided by your instructor to you to make sure you stay on track. In addition, you will receive a monthly newsletter loaded full of articles, jobs and networking opportunities.

 

And if you’re thinking you’ll have to spend thousands of dollars for all of these lessons with a live instructor - don’t worry. We have made the costs affordable for all.

Okay, so what's the cost for this incredible resource?

Well realize that this internationally recognized courses could easily be offered for thousands of dollars. In fact, if you asked a top educational organization, like ours, to produce courses like the ones being offered, you would be charged in the neighborhood of $5,000 to $7,000 for each.

But we are not going to charge you anywhere near that amount or even our minimum project price. In fact this entire Professional Mediator Certificate Program is as low as $10 down + $35 shipping and handling plus monthly payments as low as $45.00.  (Or you can make a one-time payment of $999.00 Only $899.00 if you enroll by 11/30/08).

So what's the catch? Why are we practically giving this program away?

Well, it is really quite simple. Since you are purchasing this course directly from the internet or by mail we have very little overhead. We do not need to find classroom space and supply catering (although you are welcome to call us at 800-517-0857 to rest assure that we are a real company). This way we can pass along the savings cost to you. So you win and we win!

But, what about your time commitment?

 

Look, we know you live in the real world and you can’t devote every waking moment to your course studies. That’s okay because we’ve designed your daily homework assignments so you can easily do all of this part-time.
