Assessment and entry considerations

Assessment: Observed role-specific tasks in an authorised workplace or approved simulation, knowledge checks and review of an employee relations case-handling portfolio. Actual workplace evidence is required where the eventual award or role specifies it.

Entry and recognition: Relevant work experience or an entry assessment demonstrating readiness; access to role-specific workplace cases and any required local permissions.

Practice boundaries: Apply the relevant employment rules, fair procedures and data-protection requirements. Programmes do not confer legal-adviser status, clinical counselling credentials or unrestricted psychometric test access.

Credential status: Proposed BEMCON programme only. No registered award, framework level, credit value or external certification is assigned.

Duration basis: Original curriculum-planning estimate, not an official prescribed qualification duration. The approved qualification specification, entry assessment and mandatory placement requirements take precedence.
