CERLAP - Certificate in Employment Relations, Law and Practice
What is the CERLAP course?
The Certificate in Employment Relations, Law and Practice (CERLAP) is designed to give students a comprehensive introduction into the legal framework that underpins effective HR policies around employment relations.
This unique Workplace Law course combines the speed and flexibility of elearning with the quality tutor contact time of traditional classroom learning. It is ideal for busy professionals who need an underpinning knowledge of employment relations law but are not able to commit the time to academic study such as an MA.
The Workplace Law fast-track CERLAP course takes only 22 weeks to complete. A combination of elearning and intensive classroom study in Cambridge or London leaves you free to study when you want, but with plenty of opportunity to interact with our expert tutors and fellow students during two residential sessions. What's more, the flexible course programme cuts the cost of traveling and saves your company money by reducing the time you spend away from the workplace.
