Your trusted source for compliance education in the temporary labour market.
Created by industry experts and verified by FCSA Assessors, the FCSA Academy helps recruiters, umbrellas, and end-clients understand the regulations that shape our sector.
End-clients are increasingly expected to demonstrate clear oversight of their labour supply chains. The Academy offers straightforward, practical learning on payroll models, due diligence, worker rights and upcoming legislation, helping hiring managers and procurement teams understand their responsibilities without needing specialist knowledge. By improving confidence in how contingent labour is supplied, it supports stronger governance, reduces risk exposure and enables better, more informed conversations with agencies and suppliers.
Recruiters face growing expectations around due diligence, worker engagement and supply-chain compliance. The Academy provides clear, practical training on payroll models, legislative changes and risk areas, helping consultants and compliance teams make informed decisions. With guidance on payslips, employment structures, selecting compliant partners and understanding liability, it strengthens operational confidence and improves the quality of conversations recruiters have with clients and workers.
Training helps payroll providers stay aligned with evolving regulation, strengthen internal processes and demonstrate a clear commitment to compliance. Courses cover worker rights, payroll accuracy, due diligence expectations and changes in legislation, helping teams build knowledge that supports smoother agency relationships and stronger audit readiness. It’s an accessible way to upskill staff and reinforce a culture of professionalism across the business.
