Frequently Asked Questions
Questions You May Have
If you're thinking about buying our Video Guides you may have some questions. We've answered the most likely ones here.
General
Do I need a law degree to follow this?
No. Every course is written in plain English with no legal jargon and no assumed knowledge. Every term is explained so it's easy to understand.
Can I just buy the video I need right now?
Yes. Every video is available individually from £12.99 or you can buy all 12 video guides as the Full Series for £299.
If I win my Tribunal, will I get my costs back?
Rarely. Tribunals very rarely award costs, even to the winning side. Not having to pay the other side's costs makes it much less worrisome for employees to pursue their rights against their employer.
Do these videos cover discrimination claims as well as unfair dismissal?
Our 12 video guides cover the Employment Tribunal process - case management, disclosure, the bundle, witness statements, cross-examination and final submissions - and these apply whatever type of claim you're bringing. Our courses highlight where you can find helpful content for discrimination claims and specifically address discrimination losses in the schedule of loss video guide.
Do these courses apply if my Tribunal is in Scotland or Northern Ireland?
The courses are written around Employment Tribunal procedure in England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own Tribunal systems with some procedural differences, so if your claim is there, treat this as general background rather than a jurisdiction-specific guide.
How do I know if I'm still within my time limit to claim?
You have 6 months less one day from the event you are complaining about to bring your claim, if it happened on or after 1 October 2026. If it happened before then, you will usually have 3 months less a day. There are some exceptions to this, so check this carefully. Acas Early Conciliation can also stop the clock from running and add a month to your deadline in some instances - check this carefully or seek advice from a qualified adviser if you're close to the time limit... don't miss it!
Course Access & LearnWorlds
How do I access my video guide after buying it?
You'll receive an email from our learning platform with your login details, usually within a couple of minutes of your order confirmation. Check your inbox (and spam folder) for that email.
How long do I have access and view my video guide?
Once purchased, your video guide(s) remain accessible for up to 24 months. If you need them for longer than that, let us know and we will extend that time for you. During that time you can watch them as often as you wish to.
Can I upgrade from a single video guide to the Full Series later?
Yes, get in touch and we'll get you upgraded, crediting what you've already paid toward the Full Series price.
Can I access the video guides on my phone or tablet?
Yes. Our videos are hosted on our learning platform, which works in any modern mobile or desktop browser - no app or download is required.
Do I get a certificate when I finish a course?
We run lots of training where certificates are popular, so we have included a completion certificate here as well, in case it is important to you.
Do I have to go through the courses in order?
No. Each course stands alone, so you can go straight to the stage you're facing next rather than starting from Course 1.
What's the learning platform actually like?
Each course sits on a personalised dashboard on our learning platform, a purpose-built system for online courses rather than a generic file-sharing tool. Your dashboard always holds the latest version of each video, and you can pause a video and pick up exactly where you left off.
Is the course content AI-generated?
No. Every course is written and developed by Julia Gidney, a former employment law Partner, based on her own career experience - none of the guidance itself is AI-generated. The videos are delivered by on-screen presenters rather than filmed in person, which lets us update the content quickly when procedure changes, but the words and guidance are entirely Julia's.
Is my personal data handled securely?
Yes. We take our data compliance responsibilities seriously. Our LMS platform was carefully chosen because it is fully compliant with UK GDPR and your personal data is only used to give you access to your video guides, to support you if you get in touch with us and as explained in our data privacy policy.
Payments & Refunds
What payment methods do you accept?
All major debit and credit cards, plus any other methods enabled at checkout.
What's your refund policy?
See our refund policy contained within our terms and conditions for full details. As a general rule, once you've accessed and watched a video guide we are unable to offer a refund.
Is my payment secure?
Yes. Payments are processed securely through Shopify's checkout. We never see or store your card details.
Can I get a receipt or invoice for my order?
Yes, you'll receive an order confirmation by email automatically and can request a formal invoice by getting in touch if you need one for your own records.
Is there a discount for buying several individual video guides instead of the Full Series?
Not currently - the Full Series is the discounted option if you need more than a couple of courses. Individual video guides are priced per video from £12.99 for our shorter videos, to £39.99. Pricing is calculated based on length and complexity.
