Annual courses for works councils

Our practical basic training courses are structured so that they can be completed within a year—that's why we call them “annual courses.”

These courses impart the necessary basic knowledge of labor law and works constitution law, supplemented by methodological skills and knowledge of works council management.

New: Annual courses

With over 20 years of experience, we have developed a concept that combines practical knowledge and personal expertise.

In our annual courses, we prepare works council members specifically for their tasks, promote legal and methodological knowledge, and strengthen personal decision-making skills.

Flexible & effective

Thanks to digital learning formats, you can learn from the comfort of your own home and integrate the course into your everyday life.

You learn at your own pace, avoid commuting, and can easily integrate learning into your everyday life.
