This qualification, which is aimed at IT professionals and managers, covers the full spectrum of law which applies to the current technology environment. The syllabus, which has been developed for non-legal professionals, includes contracts, privacy legislation, digital evidence, intellectual property and copyright, employment, governance and accessibility.
The three day course costs £800, with successful candidates receiving a recognised ISEB Foundation Certificate in IT Law qualification.
Six lawyers at the firm behind OUT-LAW.COM have been accredited to facilitate this course, led by partner Rosemary Jay, an information law specialist. Jay’s team has already developed an extensive range of training products during the past six years, including the highly successful Freedom of Information Act course.
Jay said:
"IT and law are fundamentally entwined, and for the IT professional, a basic knowledge of the law is now required. Ignorance about legal rules can have a devastating effect on businesses. In some cases companies have found that they do not have the right to use their own logo or that they do not own the intellectual property needed to run their own business.
“The three day course can save businesses unnecessary legal issues and costs, with the extra benefit of a recognised qualification to ensure quality and high standards of the training programme."
