Legal Web CPD courses
The Legal Web is a series of online CPD courses prepared by Nick Holmes and Delia Venables. Each year we produce three new, topical and up-to-date courses. Two for all lawyers and a third just for solicitors.
Each course contains 5 chapters, with practical articles written by Nick and Delia and many other leading experts in their fields, covering all aspects of legal information and legal practice affected by the web.
Read the chapters on screen, with live web links, or print off for armchair reading; then answer a simple online test at the end to qualify for CPD.
Earn 5 hours CPD per course
There are 10 questions for each course (2 per chapter) which may be answered online by purchasers and submitted to earn 5 hours accredited CPD for the Bar Standards Board and/or the Solicitors Regulation Authority as indicated. The questions are set and marked by Delia Venables.
Reasonable cost
Each course costs £80 plus VAT and qualifies (after taking an online test) for 5 CPD hours. There is a special Combo price for two courses purchased at the same time of £120 plus VAT.
A multi-use licence for one course, for organisations with up to 5 people wanting to obtain the CPD, costs £200 plus VAT. There is a special combo price for a multi-use licence for up to 5 people for two courses purchased at the same time of £300 plus VAT.
