People who have been on this course say

This course was exactly what I needed; it gave me a comprehensive and up to date overview of employment law, and I have been able to use this learning in my work. My knowledge of the subject has grown considerably, as has my interest, which I wasn’t necessarily expecting. The trainer used real life examples and experiences which really made a difference, as we could observe and understand situations that actually do arise. I found the course really helpful, and I plan to attend the next level of the course in the near future. Julie-Anne

Absolutely brilliant. The trainer was great - very current industry experience and knowledge, personable, professional and engaging. Geraldine
