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.

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.
