What Are The Benefits Of Attending Online CPD Courses?

Written by Legal Wise | Feb 25, 2025 1:00:00 PM

Every year, legal professionals throughout Australia need to earn 10 CPD points to remain compliant and keep their certification. For most legal professionals, this means attending a number of CPD-accredited seminars and conferences to earn the necessary CPD points. 

However, for some legal professionals, attending these kinds of events in person might be a challenge. Thankfully, there are several benefits to attending legal CPD online courses.

On-Demand Accessibility

One of the greatest benefits of attending legal CPD courses online is that they are frequently available on demand. This means you can access the material whenever it suits you—during evenings, weekends, or between other work commitments. 

This kind of flexibility is invaluable because it means that you can continue your professional development without disrupting your personal or professional schedule.

Pause And Resume Anytime

Another excellent perk of online legal CPD courses is that you can pause the course whenever you need to. Perhaps you want to get a snack, take a bathroom break, attend to your kids, or jump into an unexpected meeting. 

With online CPD courses, none of these things are a problem. You can stop and resume the seminar at your convenience whenever you need to.

No Travel Hassles Or Costs

Attending CPD events in person means that you have to factor in travel arrangements and costs. Attending CPD courses online eliminates this. You can save on fuel, transport fares, parking fees, and even accommodation costs. 

Aside from the cost and convenience aspects, not having to travel can also reduce stress related to traffic and time constraints.

Ideal For Introverts

Although in-person events can offer great networking opportunities, introverts might feel overwhelmed. If you're a naturally introverted person who struggles to engage in small talk, then an online course can provide some relief. 

Taking an online course allows you to focus purely on the content without any added social pressure. This can make the learning environment more comfortable.
