Becoming a Labor Arbitrator – Summer 2023 – Online!										**Instructors:**  Arbitrators
**Dates: *For this virtual course, please note all times referenced are EASTERN time.***
**April 27, 3:00- 4:30pm:**Online Orientation Meeting**May 8 – June 9, 2023:**Weekly Reading, Videos, & Discussion Board Assignments**June 12-16, 11am – 5:00pm EST:**Live Webinar
**Please note that there will be coursework during the five weeks prior to the live webinar portion of the course.**To create the best experience, part of the course will take place asynchronously in the weeks before the live (synchronous) sessions: this means that you will be provided with readings, videos, and slide presentations that you may view at your own convenience, and then be asked to participate, within a flexible schedule, on discussion boards with each other and class instructors in response to questions and postings. This approach, which will reduce the number of hours in front of a screen during the live webinar, will be illustrated and explained during an orientation meeting to take place April 27, approximately 6 weeks before the live portion of the class.

The application process to the FMCS Roster of Arbitrators**C****ourse Prerequisites:****A biography or resume is required**
Please submit a clear bio or resume reflecting your years of experience in the collective bargaining context, including the relevant positions, responsibilities, and time periods to **fmcs_institute@fmcs.gov.**  After submission, you should receive an acceptance letter for admission to this course.
**FMCS ROSTER, please note**: Successful completion of this course is an acceptable substitute for **four**of the **five**minimum number of cases required to be placed on the FMCS Arbitrator Roster.  Additionally, applicants who have completed BALA can participate as an “apprentice” to an NAA member arbitrator in two arbitrations (three without a successful mock award in BALA training taken on or after June 2019) instead of completing an award in their own arbitration. ***Successful completion of this course does not, however, guarantee selection for the FMCS Roster.***

Cancellations received within 7 days before the orientation will be fully refunded less a $100 processing fee and a $150 materials fee. Cancellations received after the orientation and before the live webinar will receive a refund of 50% of the tuition. In lieu of a refund, participants who cancel any time prior to the live webinar will be given the option of enrollment in the next BALA offering at no additional cost.
