Anti-Discrimination E-Learning
The course covers the forms of discrimination, the duties of the employer, the rights of employees, burden of proof and documentation, pay transparency, and everyday situations between job advert, promotion and corridor conversation. It is aimed at all employees and in particular at managers, HR and the complaints office. You choose the course version for Germany (German General Equal Treatment Act, AGG) or Austria (Austrian Equal Treatment Act, GlBG) — two acts with different deadlines, authorities and legal consequences.

WHY THIS TRAINING
In the AGG, training is expressly named as a way of meeting the duty.
The employer is obliged to take the measures necessary to protect against discrimination; this protection also covers preventive measures § 12(1) AGG. The employer is to point out in an appropriate manner, in particular within vocational training and further training, that such discrimination is unlawful, and to work towards preventing it — and: “If the employer has trained its employees in an appropriate manner for the purpose of preventing discrimination, this counts as fulfilment of its duties under paragraph 1” § 12(2) AGG. In addition, the act and the information about the office competent for complaints have to be made known in the establishment § 12(5) AGG. The Austrian GlBG has no identically worded training clause; what is documented there is, among other things, that discrimination also exists where the employer culpably fails to provide appropriate remedy in the case of harassment by third parties § 6(1) no. 2 and § 7(1) no. 2 GlBG — the Austrian version therefore works with the GlBG, the Ombud for Equal Treatment and the labour and social court.
§ 12(2) AGG ties the effect to appropriate training — whether it was appropriate in the individual case is decided by the labour courts in a dispute. The course supplies the content and the certificate of participation; it does not take that assessment off anyone’s hands. The certificate of participation documents attendance, it is not an official certification and it does not replace legal advice.

WHO IT IS FOR
Everyone in the establishment — with a focus on those who decide.
All employees
Discrimination rarely happens as a matter of principle; it happens in wordings, jokes and habits. The course sets out the protected characteristics and the forms — direct, indirect, harassment, sexual harassment, instruction to discriminate — and makes the difference between unpleasant and unlawful tangible. Designed for employees at screen-based workplaces: the stories play out in email, chat and login.
Managers, HR and the complaints office
Employees have the right to complain to the competent offices if they feel discriminated against; the complaint has to be examined and the outcome communicated § 13(1) AGG. Where employees breach the prohibition of discrimination, the employer has to take appropriate measures in the individual case — warning, reassignment, transfer or dismissal § 12(3) AGG.
Germany or Austria
DE: AGG; the contact points are the internal complaints office, the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency and the labour courts; claims under § 15(1) and (2) AGG have to be asserted in writing within two months § 15(4) AGG. AT: GlBG; Ombud for Equal Treatment and the labour and social court, with their own deadlines. There is no mixed “DACH” version.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
In short.
Is a one-off training sufficient under § 12(2) AGG?
The law names neither an interval nor a format. § 12(2) AGG turns on whether the employees were trained “in an appropriate manner” for the purpose of preventing discrimination; the duty under § 12(1) AGG to take necessary and preventive measures applies on an ongoing basis. In practice, new employees are trained when they join and the workforce is trained again at intervals — that is what the course file as HTML or SCORM 1.2/2004 for your LMS (we do not host) and the 12 months of legal-status updates are for.
What applies if we also have a site in Austria?
Then you additionally need the Austrian version. It works with the Equal Treatment Act (GlBG) instead of the AGG, with the Ombud for Equal Treatment and the labour and social court as contact points, and with the Austrian deadlines and burden-of-proof rules (§ 12(12) and § 26(12) GlBG). Prices are identical for both jurisdictions.
How do I order?
Online on this page: choose the course, enter your jurisdiction (Germany or Austria) and the number of participants, confirm that you are buying as a business and pay by card or SEPA direct debit via Stripe, or by bank transfer against invoice; you receive an invoice with VAT ID.

Do participants receive a certificate of participation?
Yes. After passing the final quiz, each participant can print a certificate of participation with name, course, date and verification code. It documents participation; the law does not require a certificate.
Is the course kept up to date?
Yes — for 12 months the course content is updated when the legal situation changes. Afterwards, existing customers receive further updates on preferential terms.
Germany or Austria?
There is a separate course version for each jurisdiction with the national legal references and authorities. Prices are identical.
