What is this course about?

The Certificate of Employment Intermediaries (CEI) aims to equip employment agency (EA) personnel with knowledge of employment laws and regulations. This ensures that EA personnel understand their obligations under the law and are able to advise their clients of their rights and responsibilities.

We recognise your anxiety of needing to pass the CEI examination as you begin your career in the talent search industry. That is why at GMC, it is not just about delivering the training materials but also addressing the need to 'tackle' the examination questions. This is what GMC has come to be known in our delivery of CEI lessons and we are grateful for the acknowledgement given by our clients who have repeatedly sent their new EA hires to our CEI classes. To date, we have trained more than 9,000 professionals.

Target Audience: EA Personnel

If multiple caregivers of the same care recipient wish to attend training, the $200 would need to be shared among the family members.

You can also use a computer or other electronic devices to learn, by watching videos and reading training materials.
