Feedback from previous attendees:

“Many thanks for the training sessions – it has really helped solidify the Employment Law module I have just completed for my CIPD Level 7.”

“Your training has been a great refresher. My employment law knowledge was a bit out of date because I’ve spent the last few years in HR projects. I’m now equipped to go back to the ‘frontline’ so thankyou!”

“Thank you very much for providing such a great training. I feel like I now have a good general understanding and will be more confident in the future when I need to make a decision. I’ll also know when I need to call you.”

“A wide range of topics covered and the reassurance that we are correct in our HR management and decisions. Good pace, opportunity to ask questions and two mornings well spent.”
