How is it delivered?
Employment Rights Act Training is delivered online or through a computer network to each trainee at their desktop, laptop or mobile device. We can also provide the course to be integrated into a SCORM compliant LMS.
Training can be completed at the employee’s own pace by “bookmarking” and recording progress and returning to the training later.
Is this course legal advice?
No. The Employment Rights Act course is designed to support understanding and compliance, not to provide legal advice. It explains what the Employment Rights Act 2025 requires in practice and how organisations can prepare, but it should be used alongside appropriate legal or HR advice where needed.
Is this course relevant if the changes are being phased in over time?
Yes. The course is specifically designed around the phased implementation of the Act. It helps organisations understand what applies now, what is coming later, and how to plan rather than reacting once changes take effect.
Will Employment Rights Act Training be kept up to date if guidance or timelines change?
Yes. The course reflects current legislation and published implementation plans. Where guidance or secondary legislation is updated, course content can be reviewed and updated to reflect confirmed requirements.
Is this course suitable for senior leaders or directors?
Yes, this training is suitable for senior leaders who need a clear understanding of legal risk, governance implications, and organisational readiness under the Employment Rights Act 2025.
Do I need prior employment law knowledge to complete this course?
No. The course is designed to be accessible to learners without specialist employment law knowledge, explaining the Act clearly and focusing on practical workplace impact rather than legal theory.
Is this course relevant to all sectors?
Yes. The Employment Rights Act course applies across sectors and is relevant to any organisation employing staff in the UK, regardless of industry, size, or working arrangements.
Will this course tell us exactly how to rewrite our policies?
The course does not provide template policies, but it clearly explains which policies and procedures are likely to be affected and what organisations should review or update as part of their compliance planning.
Does completing this course guarantee compliance with the Act?
No. Training is one part of compliance. The course helps organisations understand their responsibilities and take informed action, but compliance also depends on effective implementation, policy updates, and ongoing management practices.
Is this course suitable for organisations that already have HR support or advisers?
Yes. The course works well alongside HR and legal support by helping managers and leaders understand the changes, ask the right questions, and implement advice consistently across the organisation.
Will this Employment Rights Act course help reduce tribunal risk?
Yes. By improving understanding of new rights, enforcement arrangements, and time limits, the course supports better decision-making and early preparation, which can help reduce the risk of disputes and tribunal claims.

What happens if someone fails the course assessment?
Participants who don’t pass the assessment on their first attempt can review the course material and retake the assessment. The course is designed to support learning, with interactive elements and quizzes to reinforce understanding throughout.
