Why do I need this course?
Companies need to make sure all their employees comply with the market abuse rules. The law requires companies to ensure that any “insiders” (employees with access to inside information) are aware of the insider dealing rules. Special rules apply to senior managers.
An elegant solution
Our innovative online training course is a valuable tool to help companies teach employees and senior managers how to comply with the market abuse rules. After the initial training, you can also use the course as a handy refresher of the rules.
Feedback
Around 50 FTSE, AIM and EU listed companies have acquired the course since its launch and have found it informative and helpful in ensuring their employees and senior managers are aware of the impact of the rules and in fostering a culture of compliance.

Some more information
Why use this course
The course combines the market leading expertise of our Employment and Incentives practice, with the extensive experience of our eLearning team, to deliver the highest quality training.
The course includes interactive, scenario-based training with questions at key points within the scenarios to confirm/reaffirm the learner’s understanding. Responses to these “have you understood” questions are not recorded as part of the overall course assessment but the information contained will convey to the learner how to deal with similar situations effectively. Learners can choose to re-take those scenario-based questions to embed their understanding. The course also includes a formal assessment for which you can set the passing grade.
It is easy to navigate through each screen and section of the course, combining the right mix of text and imagery to deliver an effective learning experience.
This course stands alongside our Inside Information: Know & Tell eLearning course which around 10 companies are already using. They have found this course informative and helpful in ensuring employees are aware of the impact of the market abuse rules.
