Most legal practitioners in Australia and New Zealand require Continuing Professional Development Hours or Points to maintain their professional designation. Browse courses that meet your requirements, or choose one of our course packages, specially curated to contain all the hours and credits you need, in one place. The courses on LearnFormula may be counted towards professionally relevant, verifiable learning activities. It is the student's responsibility to validate whether an activity is an eligible educational activity for their professional development requirements based on their own learning needs.
All lawyers who provide regulated services (as defined by the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006) or hold themselves out as being willing or available to do so (see Lawyers and Conveyancers Act (Lawyers: Ongoing Legal Education—Continuing Professional Development) Rules 2013), are required to complete at least 10 hours of CPD activities during each full CPD year (1 April – 31 March). Lawyers who do not provide regulated services for a full year may pro-rate their requirements as set out in Schedule 1 of the CPD Rules.
You must use your professional judgement to decide if an activity appears to align with your CPDPR and delivers worthwhile outcomes for you. The Law Society will not accredit activities as “one size” does not necessarily fit all. What is relevant and worthwhile for one lawyer may not be for another. However, the Law Society may require that you complete a mandatory component.
AU & NZ Legal CPD courses are built around relevant, verifiable content that can be applied toward NZLS CPD hours. As with any provider, it remains the member's responsibility to confirm an activity fits their own professional development needs before claiming it.
One subscription covers your annual hours, your rolling multi-year total, and your ethics requirement — with the paperwork handled for you.
All-in-one packages to fast-track your NZLS compliance, saving time and effort.
