What is a PoSH certification course?

A PoSH certification course develops role-specific capability connected with workplace sexual-harassment prevention, learning, governance or complaint inquiries. The right programme depends on what you need to do after training. PoSH TTT prepares professionals to design and deliver learning sessions. Investigator Certification develops inquiry planning, interviewing, evidence assessment, natural justice and report-writing discipline. Dual Certification combines both pathways. PoSH 360 strengthens Internal Committee understanding across prevention, governance, response and inquiry readiness.

These courses are relevant to HR, L&D and compliance professionals, Internal Committee members, lawyers, external members, trainers and independent consultants. Certification supports professional development; it does not itself appoint someone to a statutory role, authorise an inquiry or replace organisation-specific legal advice.

Explore the PoSH certification courses

Each programme has a separate learning objective. Choose the pathway that matches your role rather than the broadest-sounding title.

PoSH Train the Trainer

For professionals who want to design and deliver accurate, engaging PoSH sessions for employees, managers or Internal Committee members. Focus areas include facilitation, activity design and sensitive-question handling.

PoSH Investigator

For professionals who support or conduct authorised workplace inquiries. Focus areas include complaint assessment, scope, interviews, evidence, natural justice, findings and structured report writing.

PoSH Dual Certification

For professionals whose responsibilities genuinely span both prevention and redressal. The programme combines trainer development with a distinct investigator learning track.

PoSH 360 for IC Members

For Internal Committee members who need broader capability across prevention, governance, complaint response, documentation, role clarity and inquiry readiness.

Which capability does each course build?

Start with the work outcome you need to perform confidently and responsibly.

Training design and facilitation

PoSH TTT. Structure learning, explain legal concepts clearly, use activities, adapt sessions for different audiences and manage difficult participant questions.

Inquiry process and evidence

Investigator Certification. Assess complaints, define scope, plan interviews, review evidence, apply procedural fairness and document reasoned findings.

Combined trainer and investigator capability

Dual Certification. Develop both learning-delivery and inquiry capability while keeping the responsibilities and boundaries of each role clear.

IC governance and readiness

PoSH 360. Strengthen Internal Committee capability across prevention, role clarity, governance, complaint response, documentation and inquiry preparedness.

Which PoSH course should you choose?

Choose TTT when your primary responsibility is employee, manager or IC learning delivery.

Choose Investigator Certification when your authorised responsibilities include workplace complaint inquiries or inquiry support.

Choose Dual Certification when both training and investigation are genuine near-term requirements.

Choose PoSH 360 when you are an Internal Committee member seeking broader prevention, governance and response capability rather than a trainer-only or investigator-only pathway.

Choose based on your current role

Job titles vary. The responsibilities you actually perform are the better guide.

Prevention, learning and people roles

HR, L&D, trainers and consultants who mainly design awareness or capacity-building sessions should begin with TTT. Add Investigator later only if inquiry work becomes part of the role.

Inquiry, legal and IC roles

IC members, legal, HR and compliance professionals involved in complaint handling should compare Investigator and PoSH 360. Choose Dual only when training delivery is also a genuine requirement.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions about selecting a PoSH certification course.

Which PoSH course is best for beginners?

Begin with the course that matches your responsibility. TTT is usually the clearer starting point for learning delivery; PoSH 360 may suit new IC members; Investigator is more relevant when inquiry work is expected.

What is the difference between TTT and PoSH 360?

TTT develops training-delivery capability. PoSH 360 develops broader Internal Committee capability across prevention, governance, complaint response, documentation and inquiry readiness.

Which certification is best for an IC member?

PoSH 360 is designed for broad IC capability. Investigator Certification is more focused when inquiry skill is the priority. TTT is relevant when the member also delivers learning sessions.

Is Investigator Certification only for lawyers?

No. It can be relevant to IC members, HR, compliance professionals, external members and others authorised to support workplace inquiries.

Can I complete more than one pathway?

Yes, where programme availability and requirements allow. Choose Dual when both capabilities are needed together, or complete focused pathways progressively as your responsibilities expand.

Does certification create legal authority?

No. Certification develops professional capability. It does not appoint someone to an Internal Committee, authorise an inquiry or replace organisation-specific legal advice.

Courses grounded in the PoSH Act framework

The certification pathways address different professional capabilities within the broader prevention, prohibition and redressal framework. For the authoritative statutory text, read the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013 on India Code.
