Key contacts

The consequences of breaching competition laws are severe, including fines against the company of up to 10% of worldwide turnover, as well as imprisonment of individuals who engage in the anti-competitive behaviour.

This eLearning course is designed to raise your general awareness of the competition law rules, as well as reduce the risk of any possible infringements arising within your business. It covers the fundamental concepts and provides practical examples on managing compliance. The course can be tailored to your business as part of a competition law compliance programme, alongside other training and legal support to the business.

Who is it for?

The course is relevant to all businesses and is intended to address compliance risks when operating across multiple jurisdictions.

Course objectives

This course will help your business to:

  • demonstrate commitment to complying with competition law
  • explain how competition law is applicable to your workforce's activities
  • ensure personnel are aware of the potential penalties for breach of competition law
  • enable employees to recognise and prevent anti-competitive practices
  • ensure personnel understand a typical competition authority's powers of investigation and what is typically involved during investigations
  • evaluate each user's understanding of the course content and identify further areas for development via a multiple-choice exam, the results of which are monitored and reported to your organisation
  • minimise the risk for your organisation of non-compliance
