CLA customers have highlighted the lack of quality copyright training delivered by a reputable source. To fill this gap, we developed Copyright in the Workplace.

Copyright in the Workplace is ideal for businesses that advocate copyright compliance, governance, and risk mitigation. This course and its companion resource aim to foster a deeper understanding of copyright and responsible content use, empowering individuals to make informed decisions about content reuse in the workplace.
