This essential one-day course cuts through the confusion and shows you exactly how to stay compliant, manage your legal exposure, and avoid common pitfalls.

Designed for professionals who are certifying, or working alongside those who are, this training offers practical guidance, expert insights, and real-world examples of what can go wrong (and how to stop it).

This course assumes technical knowledge and is not an in depth look at the TGD’s parts A-M

All attendees will receive a full course pack to refer back to and will have the benefit of learning from two trainers with a wealth of experience in this area.
