Stop the scramble: Here’s a simpler CPD solution for your organisation

As every organisation or business leader knows, continued learning is essential to keeping teams informed, fulfilled and – crucially – compliant.

But with client commitments and administrative demands eating into the workday, it can feel tricky to squeeze it in. Which usually means a frantic, end-of-year scramble to meet annual mandatory CPD requirements.

Luckily, there is a solution: the College of Law’s CPD Digital Subscription.

A complete digital learning platform in one, the CPD subscription offers legal professionals unlimited access to 140+ engaging courses. And with flexible, on-demand access, your team can upskill anytime, anywhere – without disrupting their workflow.

Here’s why this subscription could be a game-changer for your organisation.

 

Take the stress and guess(work) out of CPD compliance

Last-minute training sessions. Endless email chains to confirm attendance. Unpredictable expenses. It’s no wonder CPD can be such a headache.

But all that can change with an annual subscription where your team has consistent, all-in-one access to a robust range of courses.

No need to scramble for solutions urgently or grapple with mounting costs as deadlines approach. This model makes compliance easy and efficient, consolidating all your team’s training conveniently in one place.

 

Predictable costs, adaptable plans

With an all-in-one subscription, budgeting becomes straightforward: your team can get high-quality training for one predictable, low-cost price.

And with scalable subscription plans (or savings on course bundles), you can choose the package that best suits your needs – and make every training dollar count.

Where an individual subscriber pays $499 to access the subscription, a boutique organisation with 2 to 5 users can access a bank of knowledge for just $1,399 instead of $2,495 — a saving of over $1,000. And for teams of 6 to 10, the value only increases with savings of over $3,000 annually at just $1799.

So whether you’re a small firm, a large in-house legal team or a non-legal organisation that sees immense value (like we do) in our bank of legal and non-legal courses, you can make your subscription work for you.

An ever-growing digital library

With specialised courses and regularly updated content (including interactive courses, podcasts and video-based programs), the CPD Digital Subscription will keep your team engaged and informed.

Here’s a taste of the curated content available to help your team develop key skills:

  • Leadership: Equip your team with essential management skills through courses like How lawyers can adopt a CEO mindset and Leading and managing law firms in difficult times.
  • Cybersecurity and ethics: Cybersecurity risks are on the rise. Ensure your team stays informed with courses such as Cybersecurity 101 for lawyers. (Specialised cybersecurity courses for property and family lawyers will be available in 2025.)
  • Time management: Maximise productivity and reclaim hours in your team’s calendar with courses like Multitasking: Tips to manage your time effectively and The delegation formula: Reclaiming your time.
  • Business development: Find out how generative AI can elevate your business model and boost your industry standing with programs like Business planning, marketing and client development.
  • Communication: Grow your client base and foster stronger client connections with courses such as Strategic networking and Cultural competence, communication and negotiation.

With this ever-expanding library, you can shape your team’s training to suit the needs of your organisation – satisfying today’s priorities and tomorrow’s challenges.

 

Keep everyone on track with ease

Whether you’re an L&D Lead, HR Manager or Principal, you’ll know that tracking CPD hours and managing team attendance can feel like a huge task.

But the subscription’s centralised portal makes it easy. And the new CPD tracker (coming in 2025) will make it even smoother.

You’ll be able to assign seats for new employees, remove old ones and manage your invoices and subscription all in once place. So you and your team can focus on learning – instead of paperwork.

 

Benefit from two years’ CPD access

There’s extra value for early subscribers, too.

By signing up between now and March, your team can access the 2024/25 CPD year, plus the new CPD cycle starting in April 2025.

And extended access means maximum value.

 

Establish a sustainable CPD plan for continual growth

Consistent, ongoing learning enhances knowledge retention far more effectively than one-off training sessions.

With a CPD Digital Subscription, you’ll have access to a broad range of training material all year round, so you can implement a long-term digital learning strategy – and keep your team at the forefront of legal knowledge.

 

Building a compliant, high-performing team has never been easier – or more affordable. Learn more about what the CPD Digital Subscription can offer your organisation, take a look at our subscription options, or get in touch to discuss your organisation’s needs.

And if you’re looking to keep your legal team resilient and razor-sharp, don’t miss our comprehensive skills guide – packed with tips, tricks and resources to help practitioners stay ahead of the curve.
