CPD What's this?

Overview

Most employers find the need to restructure their organisation (or part of their organisation) at some stage, in order to streamline the organisation to ensure it remains viable and cost effective.

It is vital to undertake such a restructure reasonably and fairly, as the implications for the organisation in not doing so could be both costly and time consuming and have a negative impact on staff.

This online course will provide you with an introduction to both the legal and practical aspects of workforce restructures, which will enable you to deal with these with knowledge and confidence.

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.
