Breadth, depth and choice: Your CPD, your way

Angie Zandstra, Chief Commercial Officer, The College of Law

The future of legal learning is here. We’ve redesigned our CPD catalogue to meet you where you are in your career. And to help you get to where you want to go.

Simply want to fulfil your yearly CPD requirements? Select a subscription and you’re all set. Looking to expand into a new practice area? Bolster your expertise with an in-depth bundle.

As Chief Commercial Officer, I am excited to share all that’s new with our CPD offering, why we’ve changed things up – and how you can harness legal learning that’s easy and enjoyable.

The learning landscape has changed

With the rapid rise of online webinars and the ubiquity of on-demand modules, the learning landscape has changed forever.

And for the better, too. Busy professionals now expect to access courses anytime, anywhere – on any device. So it’s not surprising that more than half (55%) of all workplace training is now online.

To help Australian legal professionals stay informed throughout their careers, we’ve reimagined the College’s CPD catalogue from the ground up.

Here’s what went into the redesign – and how you can learn how you like in 2023.

Time to do CPD your way

After the pandemic, we asked legal professionals across the country:

How do you like to learn with CPD?
What trends are impacting your area?
What content types do you want to engage with?

So we listened. And acted.

We get that you’re tired and time-poor. (No surprises there.) You want topic breadth and depth. And you want it in a variety of formats.

Most of all, you want CPD that works for you. Content that fits your schedule and needs.

With all that in mind, we got to work.

We made CPD more accessible and easier to complete. So you can dip in and out to target specific skills. Or gain an all-in-one CPD solution for the entire year.

Streamline your CPD with a subscription

Core to our refreshed catalogue is the new digital subscription.

We’ve taken what we’ve learnt from CPD Interactive and built an expansive content library with over 70 hours of highly relevant modules.

Our content designers have reimagined over 50 courses to be more engaging and interactive.

You gain unlimited on-demand access to a range of formats – like vodcasts, podcasts, papers and interactive modules.

And you can harness such a diverse spread of content, too. From all mandatory areas, practice areas and professional skills. Plus, we’ve partnered with leading legal groups, like the Centre for Legal Innovation and Hearsay, to curate the expertise that will help you excel.

A subscription is the smartest and most convenient way to complete all your CPD requirements for the entire year.

Learn what you like, how you like

Subscriptions are just the start.

Our new practice area bundles package four related courses together. So you’ll gain eight hours of on-demand content as you expand your expertise – in areas like wills, family law or contracts. And you save 40% on each course when you buy as a bundle.

However you like to learn, we’ve got you covered with four engaging formats:

Yearly subscription: Enjoy an affordable, easy way to earn all your CPD points.
Practice area bundles: Dive deep into a practice area and save.
On-demand single courses: Target your core skills with individual in-depth courses.
Live Courses: Hear from renowned legal leaders – in person or online.

What’s more, as a national provider, we’ve designed localised courses across Australia. So you can learn about regional laws, hear local insights and gain relevant knowledge.

Plus, we’ve streamlined the purchasing experience. It’s easier than ever to find and filter courses – while the checkout process is simple, fast and secure.

Ever-expanding legal expertise

Over the past 40 years, the College has upskilled and empowered over 100,000 legal professionals.

And with the launch of our 2023 CPD program, we’re just getting started.

Our digital subscription – and wider course catalogue – is an ever-expanding learning experience. So we’re eager to see the areas you resonate with most as we add new topical content throughout the year.

Whether you want to simply fulfil your CPD obligations or seize new learning opportunities, the choice is yours.

With our new CPD catalogue, you can learn what you want, when you want – how you want.
