Frequently Asked Questions

Don’t just take our word for it—hear from our students who have transformed their skills and careers with our courses.

No. This course is designed for all employees regardless of experience or background, and assumes no prior knowledge of equality, diversity and inclusion. It is accessible to complete beginners and equally valuable for those looking to refresh or formalise their existing understanding.

This course provides a strong, CPD-certified foundation in equality, diversity and inclusion awareness, and supports your organisation's efforts to meet its obligations under the Equality Act 2010 and related legislation. However, training alone does not guarantee full legal compliance — organisations should also ensure that up-to-date policies, reporting processes, and wider cultural measures are in place. We recommend reviewing your specific obligations with an appropriate HR or legal professional.
