About us

CPD Interactive is the online professional development (CPD) platform by the College of Law. It complements the College’s extensive catalogue of online on-demand, face to face courses, webinars and skills development programs. CPD Interactive was created to offer lawyers a flexible, interactive way to meet their mandatory requirements in each of the four subject areas of:

– ethics and professional responsibility
– professional skills
– substantive law
– practice management and business skills

It is also our goal to build a hub of collaborative professional development learning. CPD Interactive was launched in February 2008.

Anywhere, Anytime, this is our motto for online learning. You can choose to take a course at your desk in the office, at home or overseas. All you need is access to a computer and the internet and you are on your way to achieving your CPD requirements.
