About this course

This course explains what a conflict of interest is and why it matters even when nobody has done anything wrong. It covers how to declare one, how gifts and personal relationships can create one, and when outside activities such as side jobs, board roles or investments need to be disclosed. It’s written for every employee and uses realistic scenarios.

Conflicts of interest are common and usually innocent: hiring a friend’s company, managing a relative, or taking on a side project. The problem comes when they aren’t declared, because a decision that seems fair from the inside can look like favoritism from the outside. Undeclared conflicts erode trust, can call decisions and contracts into question, and are hard to defend once they come to light.

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

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.
