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.

Lots to know.
There are a lot of rules & regulations to know and the course explains them quickly & clearly so you understand them .
Very informative course
It was a very informative course, I learnt things I wasn't aware of. Concise and to the point
Interesting and useful
Visually very clear and concise. The print offs I have found extremely useful especially as an aide memoir for the future. Feel more confident as I move forward in my role.
Very good easy to understand course
A great learning tool with a very good format, also test at the end was comprehensive and relevant to course
Not really relevant to my job.
I felt that this course was not really relevant to my job as seldom do I, as a Visitor Experience Assistant, have to deal with this sort of thing. It was interesting though.
very intensive
found this hard going having never been in retail found white lettering on a light background difficult to read.
Was ok

Comprehensively presented
Could probably have been simplified, or run as 2 courses - it was a lot to take in all in one go. Also, a technical query: on one of the questions (about Returns Policy), I was considering my answer and my finger must have been hovering over an incorrect button, and the test took this as my answer - even though I knew that of the 3 answers, this one was likely to be incorrect. I think that's unfair, as I would have got a better score if that had not happened - and there was no way to undo it once the test had registered my 'answer'.
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.

(1) Every contract to supply goods is to be treated as including a term that the quality of the goods is satisfactory.
(2) The quality of goods is satisfactory if they meet the standard that a reasonable person would consider satisfactory, taking account of—
(a) any description of the goods,
(b) the price or other consideration for the goods (if relevant), and
(c) all the other relevant circumstances (see subsection (5)).
