Course contents
This training course is broken down into 4 sections
- 1 Background
- 2 The Consumer Rights Act
- 3 Terms and Conditions
- 4 Disputes
SECTION 1
In this section we take a quick look at basic definitions used in the Consumer Rights Act and who and what the Act applies to.
SECTION 2
This section looks at the Consumer Rights Act regarding goods. It explains the standards which must be met by your products and what you must do if a customer complains about them. It includes a very useful step-by-step guide to the process of handling complaints.
SECTION 3
This section covers fair wording. It looks at terms and conditions, notices and contracts. It talks about greylisted terms and blacklisted terms. A downloadable pdf explains what shouldn’t be said and what can’t be said. Use of any of these terms is likely to be challenged!
SECTION 4
Usually, if a customer complains about a product they’ve bought it can be resolved directly with them, face-to-face. However, sometimes this does NOT resolve the problem. We look at what happens next, including using Alternative Dispute Resolution instead of going to court.
About this course
There is a lot of information on the internet for consumers, explaining their rights and telling them what to do to complain about goods or products they buy, but rather less to help retailers.
This course has been written from the perspective of the RETAILER. It’s for anyone who sells goods or products to the public.
It’s a practical guide to consumer law. It’s all about making sure products meet legal standards and knowing what customers’ rights are – in order to stay within the law when dealing with a complaint.
The Consumer Rights Training for Retailers selling goods looks at The Consumer Rights Act 2015 in depth, terms & conditions between the seller and the customer and how to effectively deal with customer disputes, including the Alternative Dispute Resolution.
We also offer consumer rights training for those selling services and for those selling digital content.

Good and to the point.
Explains the important parts thoroughly without over complicating matters
Too Long
Although I found the training informative, I felt there was not enough interaction and a lot of information to be processed. Which therefore made the course seem very long.
easy to use, informative.

Why is this training important?
Compliance
It's important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
The Consumer Rights Act sets certain standards that are expected for goods, services or digital content.
It gives customers a number of new rights and remedies if the products or services they buy fall short of the standards required.
Anyone selling goods, services or digital content should have a thorough understanding of The Consumer Rights Act.
