Certification Renewal
Mediator – How to Renew
In order to maintain your status as a WMA Certified Member Mediator, you must obtain at least 20 hours of continuing education every two years. Your information documenting continuing education is due no later than the last day of the month in which your membership expires.
Requirements & Documentation
1. Your name, address, phone number and any other contact information;
2. A statement that your application is for the approval of continuing education credit;
3. Information describing each of your educational activities including:
- Sponsoring group, organization or person
- Date of activity
- Continuing Education Category
- Number of applicable hours
- A brief statement describing the relevance of the training to your mediation practice;
4. A statement that declares all the information you are submitting to be true under penalty of perjury;
5. Your signature; and
6. At your option, supporting documentation for educational activities. (The WMA accepts your statement as a substitute for supporting documentation; therefore no documentation is required with your application. However, we ask that you keep any documentation for two years following your application in case the WMA should need to request it).
