Birketts provided the perfect legal training for HR professionals. The
courses were packed full of content, the takeaways were ideal and the best
thing for me was that they made it so relevant – not just teaching the law,
but relating it to real cases or issues in the workplace so I felt completely comfortable using that knowledge back in the work place.
