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: Employment Equality Acts 1998–2015; Equal Status Acts 2000–2018
Discrimination claims are decided on evidence
Nine protected grounds
Irish equality law covers nine grounds. Claims are heard at the WRC, where compensation can reach two years’ remuneration.
Indirect discrimination is subtle
A neutral rule that disadvantages one group is still unlawful unless it can be objectively justified.
Reasonable accommodation is required
Employers must accommodate disability up to the point of disproportionate burden. Doing nothing is not a neutral choice.
Bias shows up in decisions
Recruitment, promotion and review decisions are where bias becomes actionable. Trained decision-makers leave better records.
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
