This is a private organization which is not authorized in any capacity by National or State agencies, they have repeatedly mis-represented their standing to students as being the only accredited mediation training organization in Texas. They have no authority other than a private organization that continues to discredit competing schools in the state.

We recommend exercising caution when joining this organization. The only organization approved by CIFMAT is the American Bar Association.
Texas Mediator Trainers Roundtable is a private organization and not authorized by any State or Federal agency to provide mediation training beyound the normal Texas State Standards. This school repeatedly tells prospective students that they are the only organization approved to train mediators in the State of Texas. This statement alone is fraudulent and misleading to prospective students. Caution should be exercised when taking any courses from this organization as they have not been accredited by CIFMAT. Further more the organizations they are promoting on their web site are their own organizations and are another attempt at deceiving prospective Students.
