Official Course Overview
Sexual Harassment Training Built on Irish Law
Sexual harassment rarely starts loudly. It starts with a remark about someone's clothes that keeps coming back, a joke that always lands on the same colleague, a message sent after hours that should never have been sent. Left unnamed, it poisons a team long before anyone files a complaint, and workplaces are exactly where it thrives. This Sexual Harassment Training for Employees is written line by line against that law, so the certificate you download at the end stands up in a real inspection instead of just looking good in a folder.
This course gives employees the vocabulary and the confidence to deal with the subject properly. Module one defines sexual harassment, shows the damage it does to people and teams, and explains the protections written into Irish law. Module two trains your eye on the danger zone: the comments and behaviours to watch for in the workplace, online and at staff socials, including quid pro quo harassment and harassment from customers or clients. Module three walks through the policies and procedures that make reporting safe, from a quiet word with your manager to the formal grievance process. Every lesson is carried by realistic workplace scenarios.
Built on
Employment Equality Acts 1998 to 2015
Code of Practice on Sexual Harassment and Harassment at Work
Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005
The three rules that shape your training
01Section 14A
Sexual harassment is unlawful
Under the Employment Equality Acts 1998 to 2015, sexual harassment means any unwanted verbal, non-verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that violates a person's dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment, and the employer is answerable for preventing it in the workplace.
02S.I. No. 208 of 2022
The Code of Practice sets the standard
The Code of Practice on Sexual Harassment and Harassment at Work spells out what prevention must look like in practice: an effective anti-harassment policy, complaints procedures that staff can actually use, and communication and training for everyone. Following the Code is how an employer proves the reasonably practicable steps the Acts demand.
03Section 8
Welfare at work includes dignity
The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 obliges every Irish employer to protect the safety, health and welfare of employees and to provide the information, instruction and training needed to do it. Welfare includes dignity, so protecting people from harassment sits squarely inside that duty.

Course Curriculum
What the Sexual Harassment Training for Employees covers, module by module
Three focused modules carry you from what sexual harassment actually means and the laws built to protect you, through the danger zone behaviours and remarks to watch for at work, online and at staff socials, and finish with the policies, reporting routes and grievance procedures that make speaking up safe. Every lesson is written in plain, friendly language, mapped to the Employment Equality Acts 1998 to 2015 and the Code of Practice on Sexual Harassment and Harassment at Work, and every one of them moves you closer to your sexual harassment training certificate.

Pause whenever work interrupts. Progress saves automatically, retakes stay free forever, and the whole Sexual Harassment Training for Employees is CPD Certified and aligned with Irish employment equality law.
01
What is Sexual Harassment?
Foundations
The subject itself, named properly: what the term sexual harassment covers, a challenge to your own assumptions about which remarks and behaviours qualify, the real damage harassment does to people and teams, and the laws built to protect you: the Employment Equality Acts 1998 to 2015, which define sexual harassment as unwanted conduct of a sexual nature and outlaw it at work, the Code of Practice on Sexual Harassment and Harassment at Work, and the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 duty to protect everyone's welfare and dignity.
02
Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
Recognition
Where harassment actually hides, made genuinely practical: the danger zone behaviours and remarks that can signal harassment, repeated comments about appearance, jokes that keep landing on the same colleague, unwanted messages and images, and how it shows up in person, online and on social media, at offsite events such as staff parties, and from third parties like customers or clients. You will learn to recognise quid pro quo harassment, where treatment at work is tied to accepting or rejecting unwanted behaviour, and the hostile working environments that harm everyone, not only the person targeted.
03
Policies and Procedures
Action
The machinery that makes speaking up safe: the anti-harassment policy your company should operate and your responsibility to read, understand and follow it, exactly who to tell and how, from an informal word with your line manager to the formal grievance process, and the support and fair complaint handling you are entitled to from your manager or supervisor. Finish this module and the final exam unlocks: pass it and your certificate downloads straight away.

A Word Between Friends
Let's be honest with you. The internet is full of scam training websites and reviews no real customer wrote. That's why we do the opposite. Every review we have comes from a real person who took a real course with us. No fakes. No hidden feedback. They are all on Google Maps, where we can't edit or rewrite them. Be especially careful with scam websites showing reviews that appear to come from platforms such as Reviews.io. Reviews displayed on their own website may be fake, because the website owner can add, edit or fabricate them directly in the site code. Always verify the business on Google Maps instead. Today, we hold the No.1 spot across Ireland, with more real reviews than any other health and safety training company, built on 30 years of real work at honest prices. You don't have to take our word for it. Just tap the Verify us on Google button below and read every review. One last thing, friend to friend: scammers have recently created a website with a name very similar to ours. Our official name is Ireland Safety Training, while a website called "Ireland Safety Courses" has appeared in Google Ads. It is not affiliated with us in any way. Our lawyers are already collecting the necessary evidence and preparing legal proceedings. Until then, please stay careful and always verify who you are dealing with.

Questions, Answered Plainly
Sexual Harassment Training for Employees in Ireland, Answered Plainly
The questions workers and employers send us every week about the Sexual Harassment Training for Employees, the certificate and what the HSA expects, answered without the sales talk.
01
What does the Sexual Harassment Training for Employees actually cover?
Sexual harassment rarely starts loudly. It starts with a remark about someone's clothes that keeps coming back, a joke that always lands on the same colleague, a message sent after hours that should never have been sent. Left unnamed, it poisons a team long before anyone files a complaint, and workplaces are exactly where it thrives. The course takes that risk apart step by step, then shows you the controls that remove it. This course gives employees the vocabulary and the confidence to deal with the subject properly. Module one defines sexual harassment, shows the damage it does to people and teams, and explains the protections written into Irish law. Module two trains your eye on the danger zone: the comments and behaviours to watch for in the workplace, online and at staff socials, including quid pro quo harassment and harassment from customers or clients. Module three walks through the policies and procedures that make reporting safe, from a quiet word with your manager to the formal grievance process. Every lesson is carried by realistic workplace scenarios.
02
Is Sexual Harassment Training a legal requirement in Ireland?
Section 14A is the short answer. Under the Employment Equality Acts 1998 to 2015, sexual harassment means any unwanted verbal, non-verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that violates a person's dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment, and the employer is answerable for preventing it in the workplace. Our course is written directly against that wording, which is why it satisfies the duty rather than merely gesturing at it.
03
Who needs to take the Sexual Harassment Training for Employees?
Every employee, in every industry: offices, shops, hotels, restaurants, clinics, warehouses and sites, together with the employers, HR teams, managers and supervisors responsible for them. The course is introductory, so nobody needs previous training to start.
04
How much does the Sexual Harassment Training for Employees cost?
The Sexual Harassment Training for Employees is €35.00 per person, and that is the full price. Team bookings get a volume discount applied automatically, and any 5 different courses cost just €100 flat (except our premium HACCP Level 3 and Health and Safety for Managers courses, which keep their own price), with one invoice and one account for all your records.
05
Can I do the Sexual Harassment Training for Employees online, on my phone?
Yes, the whole course is online and works on any phone, tablet or laptop. There is no classroom day and no fixed start time: register, log in and begin the Sexual Harassment Training for Employees whenever it suits you, at home or on a break at work. Progress saves automatically as you go.
06
How long does the Sexual Harassment Training for Employees take to complete?
About 2 hours, and you do not have to do it in one sitting. Progress saves as you go, so you can stop after a lesson and pick it back up on another device. Your certificate is ready to download the moment you pass.
07
What certificate do I get, and when do I receive it?
You download your Sexual Harassment Training for Employees certificate as a PDF the moment you pass the exam, day or night. It shows your name, the course, the date and a verification link, so an employer or inspector can confirm it in seconds. A copy stays in your account whenever you need to print it again.
08
How long is the certificate valid in Ireland?
Renewal is recommended every three years, or sooner if your role, workplace policy or the law changes. We track the date for you and send a reminder before it lapses, so no certificate in your team expires without anyone noticing. The refresher is the same short online course, so staying compliant never costs a working day.
09
What happens if I fail the exam?
Nothing bad. You can retake the exam as many times as you need at no extra cost, and you can revisit any lesson before trying again. Most learners pass first time, because the questions test exactly what the course just taught.
10
Is the practical assessment included?
This course is assessed by examination rather than by a practical, because the competence it builds is judgement rather than technique. You get unlimited attempts at the exam, at no extra cost.
11
Can I book this course for my whole team?
Yes, and the platform is built for it. One company account covers every employee, shows you at a glance who has finished and who has not, stores every certificate in one place and gives you a single invoice for the lot. Group bookings get the volume discount applied automatically in your cart, and any 5 different courses cost just €100 flat (except our premium HACCP Level 3 and Health and Safety for Managers courses, which keep their own price).
12
Will employers and inspectors accept the certificate?
They do. We are an official accredited provider and the certificate carries a verification link an inspector can check in seconds. It is accepted by employers in Ireland, the UK and across the EU, and behind it stand our accreditations: Irish Legislation Aligned, QQI Assessed, CPD and RoSPA Accredited.
13
What does the sexual harassment training course cover?
The full picture an employee needs, across three modules: the meaning of sexual harassment, the comments and behaviours that harass, the harm they cause and the Irish laws that protect you; the danger zone behaviours to watch for in the workplace, online and at staff events, including quid pro quo harassment and harassment from third parties such as customers; and the anti-harassment policies and procedures every employer should operate, from reporting an incident correctly to the grievance process and the support a manager owes you.
14
Is sexual harassment training required by law in Ireland?
The Employment Equality Acts 1998 to 2015 make sexual harassment at work unlawful, and an employer escapes liability only by proving it took reasonably practicable steps to prevent it. The Code of Practice on Sexual Harassment and Harassment at Work, given legal force by S.I. No. 208 of 2022, names those steps precisely: an effective policy, working complaints procedures, and communication and training for every member of staff. Completing this course is that training, evidenced by a verifiable certificate.
15
How many questions does the exam have and what do I need to pass?
Ten multiple choice questions, three options each, drawn from all three modules. Passing needs 8 correct answers out of 10, an 80 percent pass mark. Nothing is timed, and a failed attempt costs nothing: review any module and retake the test free, as often as you need. The certificate generates the second you pass.
16
How fast do I get the sexual harassment training certificate?
The moment the pass screen appears. The certificate is created automatically, emailed to you and stored on the Certificates page of your account, carrying a unique code any employer or inspector can verify online. Enrolment to certificate normally fits inside a single sitting of about 1 hour.
17
Who should take the sexual harassment training course?
Everyone on the payroll. Sexual harassment does not respect industries or job titles, so the course is written for employees in offices, retail, hospitality, healthcare, manufacturing and construction alike. Employers, HR staff, managers and supervisors complete it too, partly for their own awareness and partly to show their teams the standard binds everybody equally.
18
Does the course cover harassment that happens online or outside the workplace?
Yes, in depth. Harassment connected to work follows the work, so the course covers inappropriate messages and comments online and on social media, behaviour at offsite staff events such as parties, and harassment from customers, clients or members of the public. It explains why all of it can be reported to your manager or HR even when it happens after hours: because it changes how safely and comfortably colleagues can work together.
19
Can I do the course from Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick or anywhere else in Ireland?
Yes. Delivery is 100 percent online, so a hotel receptionist in Killarney receives the identical accredited course and certificate as an HR officer in Dublin. Begin on any device, pause when work interrupts and resume exactly where you stopped; progress syncs automatically and the certificate is recognised by employers across Ireland, the UK and the EU.
20
How do I train a whole team and what discounts apply?
The free Employer Dashboard handles the rollout: enrol staff in bulk, assign the Sexual Harassment Training for Employees to each person, watch completions arrive in real time and keep every certificate on one screen for the next audit. Checkout prices itself automatically, no voucher codes: 15 percent off any 3 different courses, 10 percent off 10 or more courses, 20 percent off 50 or more, and any 5 different courses for a flat 100 euro (excludes the premium HACCP Level 3 and Health and Safety for Managers courses).
