Most legal practitioners in the United Kingdom (England & Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland) require Continuing Professional Development or Continuing Competence Hours to maintain their professional designation. Browse courses that meet your requirements, or choose one of our course packages, specially curated to contain the hours and credits you need, in a single place. The courses on LearnFormula may be counted towards professionally relevant, verifiable, structured learning activities. It is the student's responsibility to validate whether an activity is an eligible educational activity for their professional development requirements based on their own learning needs.
Maintaining and upholding standards of practice is a key part of being a member of a profession.
For solicitors, the regulatory requirement for this is set out through continuing competence.
This is the way in which solicitors are expected to review their practice and identify areas for improvement or updating, to ensure they maintain the highest standards of practice.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) sets and manages continuing competence requirements including setting the minimum regulatory standard expected of them.
The Law Society does not impose any additional standards or requirements pertaining to continuing competence over and above that which is set by the SRA.
Any activity that helps you meet your learning needs counts towards continuing competence, and there is no target for the number of hours you have to spend learning.
UK Law CPD courses are built around relevant, verifiable content that can be applied toward LS CPD hours. As with any provider, it remains the member's responsibility to confirm an activity fits their own professional development needs before claiming it.
One subscription covers your annual hours, your rolling multi-year total, and your ethics requirement — with the paperwork handled for you.
All-in-one packages to fast-track your LS compliance, saving time and effort.
