How long is the Gifts & Hospitality course?

It's made up of 4 microlessons, each under 5 minutes. Learners can finish it in one sitting or spread it over a few days, and 5Mins sends reminders until it is done.

Is there a certificate?

Yes. Learners get a certificate of completion once they finish every microlesson and complete the situational test. The record is stored in 5Mins for audits.

Does the Bribery Act ban corporate hospitality?

No. Reasonable and proportionate hospitality is allowed. The risk comes when a gift or hospitality is intended to influence a decision. The course shows how to tell the difference.

Why do we need a gifts and hospitality register?

A register gives you a record of what was offered, accepted or declined, which helps show you have adequate procedures to prevent bribery.

Who should take this course?

Client-facing, sales, procurement and finance teams, senior managers and anyone who approves gifts. It pairs well with Anti-corruption & Anti-bribery (UK).

How often should staff take this training?

Many organizations refresh it every year. In 5Mins you can set the course to repeat, for example every 12 months.

Can I try the course first?

Yes. Request a free sample lesson and book a short demo with our team. After your demo, we'll share sample lessons with you so you can see the format for yourself.
