The diploma consists of three one-day courses:

1. Employee rights – from contract to maternity
2. Discipline and dismissal – six ways to successful dismissals
3. Discrimination and equal opportunities – an A–Z guide

Delegates attending all three courses and successfully completing a written knowledge assessment paper (the review paper is to be completed in the delegate’s own time and posted back for marking) will be issued with a Diploma in Basic Employment Law, certified by solicitors DLA Piper and endorsed by Manchester Metropolitan University.

Recent entrants into the HR profession, re-entrants, directors/managers who need to quickly refresh their knowledge, or line managers who need to know the basic areas of employer responsibilities and risk.
