In today's working environment, anyone who values their career must be prepared to continually add to their skills and their knowledge. This is particularly true of the ever-changing legal profession. It is recommended that members of the Society of Specialist Paralegals undertake at least 10 hours CPD (5 hours for Associate Members) in their membership year to ensure that they are kept up to date with the latest developments in their field of expertise.

This can take one of the following forms:

• Face-to-face comprises attendance at public training courses such as those provided by CLT and the Law Society. SSP members are entitled to attend a huge range of conferences and seminars at discounted rates. For details and a full timetable, please visit our websites in Scotland and in England
• Home Study of relevant Legal/Management material, e.g. course papers and journal articles, can be undertaken for up to four hours (two hours for Associate Members)
• In-House training which is provided by your employer at your place of business qualifies as CPD - Central Law Training can provide training on an in-house basis on all paralegal areas (minimum three persons).

The Society of Specialist Paralegals can provide information and advice on the variety of CPD methods available, to help you further your career regardless of your personal circumstances. Please contact us for further information.
