About this course

This course explains why the organization has a code of conduct and how it applies to the decisions people make every day. It covers where to find the rules and who to ask, how to speak for the company on social media and keep information confidential, what happens when the code is broken, and how to speak up safely, including protection from retaliation. It includes space for the organization’s own code and is written for every employee.

Most codes of conduct are signed on the first day and never read again. When a real situation comes up, such as a questionable request, a post online or something that doesn’t feel right, employees don’t know what the code says or how to raise a concern, and many fear what will happen if they do. Problems stay hidden until they become serious, and the organization can’t show that its standards were ever explained.

  • Scenarios and a knowledge check
  • Web and mobile app, including offline

Code of Conduct FAQ

Yes. Every TechClass user license includes the Essentials courses in the Course Library, and this is one of them. There is no fee per course or per learner.

About 60 minutes, in short lessons. It is self-paced, so a learner can stop and continue on any device, including the mobile app, and offline.

Yes. A certificate of completion is issued when the knowledge check is passed, and the completion is recorded for your reporting.

It supports one, where a rule asks that people are trained on the subject, and TechClass records who completed it. Whether a requirement is met depends on your own policies and processes, so that is a question for your compliance lead or legal adviser.

Library courses are ready to use as they are. You can build and fully edit your own courses in TechClass, including from your own policies with the AI Course Creator, and combine both in one learning program.

An Essentials course gives everyone the concepts and rules in about an hour. A Skills course goes deeper for the roles that need it: about 8 hours with practice, a graded assessment and a certificate that lists the skills, licensed per learner.

English, at this stage.
