The newly designed course, dispels the myth that all legislation and compliancy training is dry and boring. On the contrary, this course certainly has the wow factor. In your roles you need to make commercial decisions, always with one eye on the law, this course gives delegates the confidence and understanding to be successful recruiters within law. Paul Marsh our HR director, who delivers this course, has an amazing capacity to show delegates how being compliant to recruitment law can give a commercial edge. Prepared to be wowed!
"The Recruitment Law 101 training is the most powerful way of learning and applying the law in the recruitment sector" says Paul. "I have worked for many years in both recruitment and employment law and delegates will benefit from this ‘dual experience’ and nothing beats the information sharing you get from a face to face group workshop, especially when it comes to this subject area."
If you are working towards your APSCo Recruitment Practice Standards level 1 then this course is ideal to ensure you pass the legislation section of this online assessment. (See our Recruitment 101 course for the skills and knowledge needed for the other sections.)
