Your next chapter in mediation experience building starts here: introducing the DRA Development Pass

We’re excited to launch the new DRA Development Pass - 12 months of development support to help you build confidence, strengthen your skills and move forward as a junior mediator.

You’ve invested in your training. You’ve developed new skills, discovered what you can bring to mediation and started imagining where it could take you. Now comes the next step: putting that learning into practice and building your own professional identity.

That is where the DRA Pass comes in. From £25 per month, it brings together realistic skills practice, individual support and a personal development plan, giving you something practical to work towards throughout the year. Plus and Complete Pass Holders also receive a professional digital profile and tools to support their developing practice.

If you are looking to build mediator experience, this programme gives you a supported place to start. Whether you qualified last month or trained some time ago and have had limited opportunities to use your skills, this is your opportunity to get moving with support around you.

Build mediator experience and grow your confidence

Think back to the moments in training when a conversation started to shift, a carefully framed question opened up a new perspective, or feedback helped something click. Those opportunities to learn through doing matter beyond qualification too.

Our facilitated skills sessions give you space to keep developing. You’ll work through realistic mediation scenarios with fellow practitioners, explore different approaches and receive feedback from experienced facilitators. You can bring your questions, try something new and learn from the experience together.

Alongside those sessions, your individual coaching or strategy reviews help you focus on your own progress. What would you like to feel more confident doing? Where are you getting stuck? What should you prioritise next? Your personal development plan turns those questions into achievable actions, with support to help you move forward.

Give your developing practice a professional home

Being ready to introduce yourself as a mediator is an exciting step. Having a clear, professional place to send people makes that introduction easier.

Our Plus and Complete Passes include a template-based Digital Mediator Profile, introducing your background, approach and services. We include profile setup, domain registration and renewal, hosting and care, alongside premium Mediator Desk access and a Mediator Directory listing.

It is a way to start building your professional presence while you develop your skills. If you already have a website, you can keep the other benefits without taking a new profile; the Pass price stays the same, and management of your existing website is separate.

Choose your next step

Every Pass includes a personal development plan and priority skills-session booking, with three levels of support:

• Essential - £25 per month or £250 upfront: two two-hour skills sessions, one four-hour skills session and two 30-minute coaching sessions.

• Plus - £45 per month or £450 upfront: four two-hour skills sessions, two four-hour skills sessions and four 45-minute coaching sessions, plus the digital profile and associated benefits.

• Complete - £65 per month or £650 upfront: six two-hour skills sessions, three four-hour skills sessions and four individual 60-minute quarterly strategy reviews, plus the digital profile and associated benefits.

Each Pass is a 12-month programme. Monthly payments continue for the agreed term regardless of attendance, or you can pay upfront and save the equivalent of two monthly payments. Your initial strategy session counts towards your individual support allowance.

Our November launch offer: more support for your first year

To celebrate the launch, choose Plus by 30 November 2026 and we’ll upgrade you to Complete for your first 12 months.

For £45 per month for 12 months, or £450 upfront, you’ll receive all the Complete benefits - including nine skills sessions, four individual hour-long strategy reviews and your Digital Mediator Profile package.

You can begin individual support and profile development straight away. Skills sessions resume in January 2027, giving you something to look forward to as you plan the year ahead.

For those looking to build experience, the Pass also provides guidance towards our Early Resolution Service and Junior Mediator Panel. Progression requires the relevant longer skills sessions and a readiness review, with opportunities dependent on suitability and availability. Early Resolution work is voluntary; paid work is not guaranteed.
