The Easter (extra) long weekend is traditionally a time for rest and rejuvenation. However, it also presents a unique opportunity for you to get ahead on your CPD for the 2025-2026. With the hustle and bustle of the legal profession, finding uninterrupted time for professional development can be challenging, and this extended break gives you the opportunity to spend a little time ticking off some CPD.
Falling at a strategic time of the year, this break allows you to set new goals for the months ahead. Integrating CPD into this period can provide a sense of accomplishment and readiness to tackle upcoming challenges. By taking advantage of this short break, you can ensure you stay compliant with CPD requirements while also refreshing your knowledge and skills.
On-demand CPD programs offer flexibility as they can be accessed at any time, allowing you to fit your learning around your schedules. Whether you have a free hour on a Saturday morning or prefer to catch up on a session in the evening, on demand CPD caters to your needs.
One of the primary benefits of on demand CPD is the ability to pause, resume, and revisit content as needed. This ensures that you can absorb the material at your own pace, enhancing your learning experience. You can complete your CPD from the comfort of your home, office, or even while on holiday.
Interactive CPD programs add an extra layer of engagement to the learning process. These programs include reflection questions, quizzes, and other interactive elements that help reinforce the material. By actively participating in the learning process, lawyers can retain information more effectively and apply it to their practice.
Interactive CPD is particularly beneficial for those who prefer a dynamic and participatory learning experience. These programs are designed to stimulate critical thinking and encourage deeper understanding of the material. Furthermore, in most* jurisdictions, interactive CPD programs are recognised for CPD compliance due to their built-in assessments, making them a valuable tool for fulfilling professional development requirements.
