Designed for HR professionals, employers and in-house legal teams, The Employment Law Certificate will provide a comprehensive overview of key concepts, policies and practice to help you to navigate the ever-changing and complex employment law landscape.

It will also look at issues of growing significance, such as mental health and wellbeing, remote and flexible working, and discrimination and equality.

The course will look at recent employment law developments and their impact on the workplace, as well as consider future arrangements with the EU and Brexit.

Providing expert guidance and best practice advice, the course has been designed to help you to better understand and manage the employment issues you face, make sure you are remaining compliant, and preventing disputes, conflict and tribunal claims.

**Please note: access to the course will not be granted until payment has been made.**
