Description

There is a legal framework within which you must work when managing a formal disciplinary process, and this course helps you do just that.

This isn’t a court of law, and you don’t need proof beyond a reasonable doubt. What you do need is to present a reasonable case to an employee for them to understand your concerns about their conduct and to respond to the company’s position.

We give you a real-life case to review and decide whether you would take it to a formal hearing, as well as real-life tribunal case summaries to decide whether you think those dismissal decisions were fair.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
