GRC eLearning courses for Irish businesses
Irish organisations face compliance obligations across data protection, anti-corruption, procurement, and environmental enforcement. When a question arises about whether your people understood their obligations, a completion record is the only answer that holds up. Access eLearning's Irish Compliance Essentials bundle gives every employee the knowledge to meet those obligations, and every compliance team the records to prove it.
- 1 CPD-accredited bundle of compliance courses
- 13 titles built around Irish legislation and regulatory requirements
- Covers GDPR, anti-bribery, FOI, whistleblowing and more
Compliance training built for Irish organisations
Designed to fit around busy schedules. Accessible on any device.
Every role carries unique obligations
Compliance is not a function. It is a responsibility that sits with every employee. From the manager handling a conflict of interest declaration to the frontline worker managing a customer complaint, the Irish Compliance Essentials bundle gives every role the specific knowledge it needs to act correctly and within the law. This includes anti-corruption training for employees in roles where bribery or fraud risk applies.
Compliance training built around Irish obligations
This bundle is built around the legislation and regulatory frameworks that govern Irish organisations: the GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, the Criminal Justice (Corruption Offences) Act 2018, the Freedom of Information Act 2014, public procurement rules, and environmental enforcement obligations.
Training your people will finish
Most compliance training gets opened, skimmed, and closed. Ours is built to change behaviour, not just log a completion. Each course runs across two focused modules grounded in real Irish scenarios, so the obligation becomes concrete rather than abstract.
Updated when the rules change
Irish compliance obligations change, and the training has to change with them. Access eLearning reviews and updates courses as legislation and regulatory guidance shifts, so your organisation is not left running training that no longer reflects the law.
A training record that holds up to scrutiny
With Access LMS, every learner gets a dated CPD completion record. When a regulator or auditor asks whether training took place and when, your compliance team has the evidence without searching spreadsheets or chasing paper certificates.
Works with your existing systems, or ours
Courses are SCORM-compatible, so they work with whatever learning management system your organisation already uses.

Your questions answered
What is GRC and compliance training?
GRC training (governance, risk and compliance training) helps organisations operate within the law, manage risk, and meet their obligations to regulators, employees, and the public. Compliance training gives employees the specific knowledge to meet the legal and regulatory obligations that apply to their role.
What are the benefits of compliance training for employees?
Corporate compliance training lowers the risk of regulatory action, protects the organisation's reputation, and gives employees the confidence to act correctly when it matters. Workplace compliance training also creates a verifiable record that training took place: the evidence a regulator or auditor will ask for if a question arises about whether obligations were met. Risk and compliance training at this level also shows regulators that the organisation takes its obligations seriously.
Who needs compliance training in Ireland?
Any Irish organisation with employees has compliance training obligations, but the specific requirements vary by sector and role. Access eLearning's Irish Compliance Essentials bundle provides compliance training courses for employees at every level, covering the full range of governance, risk and compliance courses Irish organisations need, delivered as eLearning compliance training that works on any device.
What mandatory compliance training is required in Ireland?
Every Irish employer must provide safety and compliance training under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and data protection training under the GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. Public sector organisations, consumer-facing businesses, and those subject to anti-corruption legislation face additional obligations under the Freedom of Information Act 2014, public procurement regulations, the Consumer Protection Act 2007, the Companies Act 2014, and the Criminal Justice (Corruption Offences) Act 2018.
How does GRC eLearning work?
Every learner receives a dated CPD completion record on finishing a course. Because courses are delivered online, compliance training courses can be assigned and completed across your entire organisation, from a team of ten to a workforce of thousands.
