In the first three years’ of practice, newly qualified practitioners are required to complete 45 hours of continuing professional development (CPD), including at least 9 hours of advocacy training and 3 hours of ethics (the “New Practitioners’ Programme”).
On completion of your pupillage, you will be sent a CPD Information pack along with your full qualification certificate. This details further information about the new practitioners’ programme and includes a copy of the CPD record card. The Bar Standards Board will maintain a record of your attendance at advocacy and ethics courses and you are required to keep your own record of attendance at other accredited courses as well as signing the registration document at these events. Practitioners must return a copy of their record card each year detailing the hours that they have completed.
All courses that new practitioners attend must be accredited by the Bar Standards Board. Information on accredited courses can be found on the website at www.barstandardsboard.org.uk under CPD.
