E-Learning program 'Antitrust Law Basics' - Compliance Training

Basics of Anti-Trust
e-learning program for the support of the proper and legally conform behavior of all company employees
“If companies do not want to become embroiled in unlawful agreements by their employees, then it is the companies’
responsibility to reduce this risk through the intensive training of employees – even at the corporate management
level – in regard to anti-trust matters.” This statement by Dr. Ulf Böge, the former president of the German
Federal Cartel Office, underscores the urgent need for employee training in anti-trust compliance. The training program
Basics of Anti-Trust supports you in the company-wide implementation of this measure.
PREVENT ANTI-TRUST VIOLATIONS THROUGH
SENSITIZATION AND KNOWLEDGE
Time and again companies violate legal requirements –
through anti-competitive agreements, for example. The
international cartel authorities respond with penalties of
up to several 100 million Euros. Make sure that everyone
in your firm complies with the existing legal regulations.
The e-learning program Basics of Anti-Trust ensures that
your employees develop a sense of which behavior,
agreements, deals and decisions are legally permissible –
and which are not. The different aspects of the anti-trust
law are covered in industry-specific versions of the learning
program. Containing information and practical examples
of the specific branch, they provide an accurately
fitting training for your company.
The program consists of an information section and a practical
knowledge section. Here, the user has the task of correctly
applying their acquired knowledge in an interactive
case simulation. The WBT concludes with a knowledge test.
