Who is the course aimed at?

The Certificate in Employee Share Plans course has been designed especially for:

• administrators, both those within companies and those providing services externally;
• human resource professionals, those working within companies in designing and communicating employee share plans;

Course Structure

We have restructured how we are delivering this course for 2021. The session timings make it easier and more practical for on-screen learning and to fit around other commitments. The course is split into two parts - Part 1 in Spring and Part 2 in Autumn. Each Part is delivered over 5 short days. Each Part will be followed by a virtual exam.
