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.

Covered in this Course
The Consumer Rights Training for Retailers - GOODS course is broken down into 4 sections.
1) Background
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.
2) The Consumer Rights Act
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.
3) Terms and Conditions
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!
4) Disputes
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.
