What the course covers
5 focused sections, each built on the Irish legal position rather than generic principles, then a randomised exam and your certificate.
Legal basis: CBI Consumer Protection Code
The Code is where most findings come from
Suitability is documented
Knowing the consumer and evidencing suitability is the file the Central Bank reads. Advice without a record is advice you cannot defend.
Errors have a clock
Errors must be resolved, and where required reported, inside set timeframes. Slow handling widens the population affected.
Vulnerability requires more
Consumers in vulnerable circumstances need additional care, and the file has to show it was given.
Disclosure is not paperwork
Advertising and information requirements exist so consumers can compare. Getting them wrong becomes a conduct issue.
How it is assessed
Every learner sits a randomised exam drawn from a larger question bank, so no two people see the same paper and sharing answers gets nobody anywhere.
- Questions rotate per learner from the bank
- Pass mark set for genuine competence
- Learners can pause and resume at any point
- Retakes available without starting the course again
What you can evidence
The certificate is the point. It is issued automatically on a pass and lands straight in your audit trail.
- Learner name, completion date and exam score
- Course outline and the exact version taken
- CPD hours, ready for a professional CPD log
- One-click audit export across your whole team
