Further developments
The transition period of one year after the ordinance has been issued does not come into force until one year after its enactment. According to the resolution recommendation, this gives "the relevant mediator and professional associations, the professional chambers and the chambers of industry and commerce as well as other social groups in the interests of comparability of training and quality assurance the opportunity to agree on a uniform procedure on a voluntary basis, which the Certification of training institutes, which then carry out the training to become a certified mediator and issue the corresponding certificates for the participants, is made possible by a body organized under private law. "There it is also specified that a corresponding supplement to the statutory authorization according to § 6 must be checked if an agreement is reached does not take place on a voluntary basis on a body for the certification of the training providers.
The mediation associations (BAFM, BM, BMWA, DFfM and DGM), the Federal Bar Association (BRAK), the German Bar Association (DAV), the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (DIHK) and the Federal Chamber of Notaries (BNotK) have been able to meet so far (as of March 2017 ) do not agree on a common accreditation body for training to become a certified mediator.
criticism
There is criticism that there is no independent body that would review, confirm and monitor the quality standards. In contrast to this, there are, for example, accredited certification bodies for the certification of experts according to the international standard DIN EN ISO / IEC 17024/2012, and these are monitored by the German accreditation body.
It is also doubtful whether a single supervised mediation case is sufficient as the initial practical experience required for certification.
There is also criticism that less demands are placed on training completed abroad than on training at home. Reinhard Greger criticized that the regulation gave the impression of discrimination against domestic training courses . In addition, Martin Fries noticed a contradiction in the requirement for 120 hours of attendance, "because training content is increasingly being conveyed online and there are certainly technical possibilities to check the attentiveness of course participants through automatic interaction."
