What people say about attending:
“For me the whole course was useful to embed my knowledge – it was an excellent course.”
“Learning about justifications re some of the case law – good to know why a decision was made, course was awesome thank you”
“A fantastic course overall. The fact that I came away with some essential knowledge relating to fixed terms contracts and trial periods (amongst everything else!) meant I could come into work and confidently make a few changes to our IEA’s the next day.”
“The seminar was interactive and although professional, was still quite a relaxed environment. The Elephant team really know their stuff and are happy to answer every little niggling question I had during the breaks.”
“I enjoyed the real life examples of what could happen, the different ways people can react and strategies to work with that”.
