Accredited Conciliator of KFCRI - (AcC-KFCRI)

Conciliation is not a new concept as far as India is concerned. Various legislations in India have also recognized conciliation as a statutorily acceptable mode of dispute resolution and conciliation was in fact being frequently resorted to as a mode of dispute resolution under these specific legislations. Still, stakeholders are unable to find recognised professionals who are aware of the formal process of conciliation or even be a conciliator


Conciliation provides the disputing parties with an opportunity to explore options aided by an objective third party to exhaustively determine if a settlement is possible. The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 covers both domestic and international disputes in the context of conciliation. International conciliation is confined only to disputes of “commercial” nature.


The scope for conciliation in India and at the international forum can be attributed towards the Indian legislations as well as the UNCITRAL Model law. Conciliation is economical and a faster process. It allows the parties to select their own proceeding thereby creating a high demand for professional conciliators.


This course focuses on students, legal practitioners and diversified professionals who can be equipped with practical knowledge of procedures and issues of conciliation in domestic and international forums. This course will be the stepping stone for the interested fraternity towards making them as professionals in the field.
