FAQ
Questions HR, ER, legal-adjacent, and management professionals ask before registering.
Get clear answers on modular attendance, formats, credits, registration, and how the program stays current.
Can I attend just one or two blocks instead of the full program?
Yes. While most participants get the best value from the complete 4½-day program, you can register for individual blocks based on your immediate needs. Block I (Labor Relations) and Block II (Discrimination Law) are each $1,375 individually, while Block III (Special Issues) is $575. The full program at $2,375 saves $950 versus purchasing all three blocks separately.
What's the difference between in-person, virtual, and on-demand formats?
All three formats feature the same practicing attorney instructors, current content, and professional credits. In-person provides face-to-face networking and immediate interaction. Virtual delivers the same live instruction via Zoom with full Q&A capability. On-demand lets you learn at your own pace over 90 days with the ability to pause and revisit complex topics. Choose the format that fits your schedule and learning style—the quality and content remain identical.
What happens after I register?
Within minutes, you'll receive an invoice email. Once payment is processed, you can schedule your complimentary pre-program consultation (10-15 minutes) to discuss your specific workplace challenges and identify which program content will have the biggest impact for you. Pre-program materials arrive one week before your session starts.
What continuing education credits will I earn?
The complete program provides 29.75 SHRM/HRCI/CLE credits. Plus, your enrollment includes 12 months of quarterly employment law updates (4 sessions × 1.5 credits each = 6 additional credits), bringing your total to 35.75 credits—typically more than HR professionals earn in two years.
How current is the content? When was it last updated?
Your materials are living resources that update continuously as employment law changes. Unlike static textbooks that become outdated immediately after publication, our content reflects current court decisions, regulatory changes, and compliance requirements. Recent updates include the NLRB's Cemex decision on organizing, the Stericycle handbook standards, post-Bostock LGBTQ+ protections, and state-specific AI hiring regulations.
Why do you emphasize practicing attorneys, not academics?
Your instructors handle employment law cases, defend discrimination charges, and advise employers on these exact issues daily. They're not teaching from textbooks—they're sharing strategies that work in actual courtrooms and real workplaces. When you ask what do I do about a specific situation, they answer from direct experience, not theory.
Can we register a team or small group?
Yes. Use the team-attendance option if you want to send multiple participants, coordinate registrations, compare formats, or discuss whether a private or tailored option would be a better fit for your organization.
Can I transfer or substitute my registration?
Registration changes depend on timing, format, and availability. If a participant needs to switch dates, change formats, or substitute another attendee, contact IAML before the program date so the team can confirm the available options.
Does the $2,375 program fee include everything?
Yes. Your enrollment includes all live instruction, complete program materials, 29.75 continuing education credits, pre-program consultation, 12 months of quarterly employment law updates (4 sessions, $1,588 value), permanent access to living resources, and alumni benefits for all future programs. There are no hidden fees or additional charges.
