  • Education
  • CPD

Before you apply

Solicitors seeking special dispensation (due to illness or extenuating circumstances) from the minimum CPD requirement should first contact the CPD Scheme Unit and advise of their circumstances.

You will then be required to submit an online application for special dispensation, which should include details and proofs of any CPD completed in such particular cycle.  A medical certificate (in cases of an application based on illness) and written verification from your employer confirming the dates of any leave taken during the cycle in question. 

The application for special dispensation shall then be referred to the Education Committee for consideration.
