Past Student Testimonials
It has been an enriching learning journey. I looked forward to each Sunday, often having to set aside other commitments to prioritise this course. The more one engages in the subject, the more one learns - which was certainly true for me. This course has made me fall in love with labour laws; I now read between the lines, able to better comprehend and advance my knowledge of Labour laws in my HR career.
EDPLLM allowed us to connect with outstanding professors who put much effort into ensuring real-life, experience-based case studies and practical learning. There is much apprehension about the new labour codes and their impact, so they have taken the time to explain them in great detail. It enriched our learning and brought a lot of depth to our knowledge. All this would not have been possible without the VCNow team's enabling role.
