Our Equality, Diversity & Inclusion training is fully CPD accredited and designed to do something many compliance courses don't: leave your team genuinely better at noticing, talking about and acting on equality at work — not just nodding through a slide deck.
The course covers the Equality Act 2010 in plain English, walks through the protected characteristics every UK employer needs to be aware of, and gives learners a clear framework for recognising discrimination, harassment and bullying — and for knowing what to do when they encounter it. UK equality law doesn't mandate any specific accrediting body for diversity training; it requires that staff understand their responsibilities and behave accordingly. CPD accreditation confirms this course meets that standard, and it's accepted by employers, auditors and HR teams across the UK.
Equality, diversity and inclusion aren't just legal requirements — they're what make teams safer, more creative and better at the work. This course gives every employee, manager and business owner the tools to:
Taking this course helps learners:
Completing this course supports your organisation's commitment to equality, helps every team member understand the legal responsibilities involved, and gives learners the confidence to play their part in a workplace where everyone feels respected and welcome.
The course is divided into five short, interactive modules:
1. Introduction to Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
2. The Equality Act 2010 and Protected Characteristics
3. Discrimination, Harassment and Bullying
4. Unconscious Bias and Inclusive Behaviour
5. Reasonable Adjustments, Allyship and Wellbeing
Each module includes interactive elements and short reviews to reinforce learning and prepare you for the final assessment.
At the end of the course there is a short final assessment in multiple-choice format. You'll need 75% to pass. If you don't pass first time, retakes are completely free of charge — there's no limit on attempts and no extra cost.
Once you've passed, your CPD-accredited Equality, Diversity & Inclusion certificate is issued instantly and is available to download and print straight from your account — ready for staff records, audits, supplier reviews and your wider learning and development file.
This course is suitable for any employee, manager or business owner who wants to understand UK equality law and play their part in an inclusive workplace. It is designed for:
Office, retail and hospitality teams
HR and recruitment professionals
Managers and team leaders
Healthcare, education, charity and public-sector employees
Owners and directors of small and medium-sized businesses
Anyone joining a new team or industry and wanting to land well
It's also ideal as part of induction for new starters, as refresher training for existing staff, and as a quick way for organisations to show they take equality, diversity and inclusion seriously.
Yes. It's CPD accredited — one of the most widely recognised UK accreditations for professional training. UK equality law doesn't specify any particular accrediting body for diversity training; it expects employers to make sure their staff understand and uphold the law. This course satisfies that and is accepted by employers, auditors and HR teams across the UK.
Most learners complete it in around 90 minutes. You can pause and come back at any time — your progress is saved automatically.
In practice, yes — for most UK employers. The Equality Act 2010 makes employers responsible for preventing discrimination, harassment and victimisation at work. When something does go wrong, tribunals look hard at whether the employer took 'all reasonable steps' to prevent it. Staff training is one of the strongest pieces of evidence available, and this course is designed exactly for that purpose.
Yes. EDI stands for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion — the term most UK employers and HR teams now use for what used to be called diversity training. This course covers all three.
Retakes are completely free of charge. There's no limit on attempts and no extra cost.
Yes. A CPD-accredited Equality, Diversity & Inclusion certificate is issued instantly on completion of the course and is downloadable from your account.
The certificate doesn't have an expiry date — once you've passed, it's yours. We recommend refreshing your equality and diversity training every 3 years, or sooner if UK equality law evolves or your organisation's policies change significantly.
This course is the right level of awareness training for everyone in an organisation, including line managers. HR teams and senior managers who handle complaints, hiring decisions or restructures often benefit from additional, role-specific training — but every conversation is easier when the whole team has been through the same foundation course first.
