The course is aimed at lawyers and non-lawyers who work in the area of consumer relations, including lawyers, solicitors, employees of companies, consumer or professional associations, regulatory or supervisory bodies and consumer dispute resolution bodies, magistrates, civil servants and consumer support technicians.
