Students are awarded Certificates of Completion after 30 to 40 hours in the Mediation Program, where mock mediations are conducted until they gain confidence using their newly acquired mediation skills. The program consists of 4 to 5 separate classes spread over 6 to 12 weeks and are offered once in the Spring and once in the Fall.

Located 60 miles north of downtown Los Angeles off the 14 Frwy, in the High Desert region of North Los Angeles County, the Antelope Valley's primary cities are Palmdale and Lancaster. The area is known for its Joshua trees, poppy reserves and natural flora and fauna, some of which are pictured above. Above photos of poppy field and Joshua trees by L A Hughes.
