- AUSTIN ASSOCIATION OF MEDIATORS
Mediator Credentialing
|
Texas Mediator Credentialing Association (TMCA) Texas was the first state to create a voluntery, multidisciplinary credentialing program through the Texas Mediator Credentialing Association. The TMCA gives Texas mediators the opportunity to set professional standards through a voluntary regulatory system. Why is Credentialing Important? Anyone can say they are a mediator, no matter what their training or experience. A TMCA credential assures that the mediator has met the rigorous standards of an independent organization devoted to maintaining the quality and accountability of the mediation profession. What does it mean to be a TMCA Credentialed Mediator? TMCA offers various levels of credentialing. Mediators must submit documented proof of training received, hours of mediation services performed, and continuing education completed on a yearly basis to renew their credentials.

In recognition of the growing diversity in the field of mediation, in 1992 AFMA decided to expand its scope and became the Austin Association of Mediators.
