COURSE OBJECTIVE
The law and regulations governing business and contract law are increasingly complex and now affect all industries and every type of commercial agreement; from entering into a contract, to validity of purchase conditions.
This course is designed to offer a comprehensive and practical introduction to business contract law for non-lawyers, and to enable students to gain the necessary knowledge (within flexible time frames) to enable them to recognise and deal confidently with the risks and benefits of commercial contracts.
This includes looking at how commercial contracts are affected by various statutes, and ensuring that students are able to fully grasp the impact of current legislation and case law. The course also covers Intellectual Property and the position on consumer law in the modern legal structure.

Dear Aili good day,
Your last message noted with thanks and really appreciated.
Please note that I admit that maybe in some areas my research and
going deep through the subject was not so good however please note
that I enjoyed the course very much and I have learned a lot of things
about the commercial law.
I appreciate your assistance on the whole duration of the course and
I will definitely recommend SOUTERS to friends and colleagues.
Please note that one of the main reasons that I might not went so deep into the course was that since August 2011 I am a father and my time for studding has been reduced drastically due to the new member of my family.
Anyway I think with your help we managed to achieve a good result.
Thanks again for everything.
Really appreciated.
Please also advise if I can continue further my course/certificate
(in the future) and to upgrade it through SOUTERS to a more advanced
diploma.
Best Regards
Stef

Dear Stef
Thank you for your e-mail, and congratulations to you as a new father!
I am glad you enjoyed the course and had gained a lot of knowledge about Commercial Law.
Here at Souters, we pride ourselves to not only provide our students with quality teaching through our wealth of courses, but also the added benefit of personalised tutor guidance (as and when required). This enables the training process to be both enjoyable and effective for the individual student.
The fact that you had conducted wide research during your course is not a negative thing. Rather, it had enabled me to see that you had taken that extra step to gain more knowledge in order to understand the subject further. This clearly shows your positive attitude towards your course, which I had recognised had given you credit for in your previous submissions.
Well-done!
We note that you may wish to pursue further studies with us in the future, and confirm that we are happy for you to do so.
Wishing you the very best for the future and do keep in touch with us, so that we are kept updated of your progress.
Regards
