The aim of the Labour Dispute Resolution Practice (LDRP) certificate is to contribute to the transformation and capacity building in the labour dispute resolution sector by providing access at a higher postgraduate level to all individuals aspiring to become CCMA Commissioners, Bargaining Council Panellists or those individuals wishing to enhance their industrial relations / dispute resolution skills, including trade unionists, industrial relations practitioners, managers and legal practitioners. The postgraduate certificate is focused on an advanced theoretical understanding of collective and individual Labour Law, and this includes a large component on the technical and practical application of the theory to practice. One-on-one coaching and a practical simulation model that is unique in its design developed over the last 8 years provide participants with practical skills and knowledge.
Students who want to apply for the LDRP postgraduate certificate will have to complete the following four stand-alone certificate courses:
- Individual Labour Law Practice (click here for more information)
- Collective Labour Law Practice and Jurisdiction (click here for more information)
- Mediation and Conciliation (click here for more information)
- Labour Arbitration(click here for more information)
Once the four courses have been completed the delegate will need to apply at the University for the Postgraduate Diploma. The requirement for the PG Diploma is a LLB Degree.
Students who do not have a legal qualification will be required to complete a free compulsory skills development course before doing the other LDRP courses:
- Foundations of Commercial Law Practice (click here for more information) - this course is free for anyone completing the LDRP certificate
