Quick answers

Choosing a provider: questions buyers ask

What should HR look for when selecting a POSH training provider?

Trainer expertise, current legal knowledge, separate employee and Internal Committee tracks, local-language delivery, scenario-based assessment, usable records and an itemised quotation.

Which POSH training providers offer certification and assessments?

Many do. Check what the certificate records, and ask to see the assessment format before you sign. A completion certificate records participation; it is not a legal accreditation.

Should we choose a provider that offers training and compliance support together?

It often helps. One partner who knows your policy, your committee and your training records can keep them consistent.
