Other requirements

• No statewide mediator credential (district-court family mediation programs set their own standards): NRS 3.475(2)(c)/3.500(2)(c) require program rules to set minimum education, training in procedure and interpersonal skills, apprenticeship for new domestic mediators, and continuing education

Do I need a state credential to mediate in Nevada?

State credentials and court rosters mainly matter for court-ordered or court-connected cases, where a court may require a mediator from its own list. If you plan to mediate cases that people bring to you privately, check whether Nevada or your profession has any rule that applies. See do I need a mediator certified in my state?
