"This course in an ideal choice for lawyers, HR professionals and anyone with a keen interest in updating or extending their understanding of employment law," says former student Anne Conlon.
"The advanced diploma schedule is specifically designed to accommodate the needs of participants who are in full-time employment. The course was stimulating, challenging and academically robust – as well as being thoroughly enjoyable. The quality of the lectures was excellent and each lecture was delivered by an expert in the area – all barristers, including senior counsel," she adds.
"I found that the combination of practical application to workplace situations backed by extensive coverage of the relevant case law gave me a thorough grounding in employment law," says Conlon.
"The assignments were on solving problems and handling difficult issues in workplace situations. They required consideration of the available fora for the determination of disputes, together with the application of the pertinent case law. Additionally, it was necessary to consider and explain the remedies and awards available. I found it particularly helpful that individual feedback was given on the assignments. It was a very well organised course and the course director, Niamh McGowan BL was both approachable and encouraging. I would highly recommend this course," explains Conlon.
