What is the difference between CPD programs and CPD activities?
CPD programs are formal, instruction-based sessions. CPD programs are usually offered by organizations such as education providers, law associations, law firms, government associations and industry groups. CPD activities include a broad range of other, non-program learning methods such as teaching, writing, mentoring, and participation in study groups of 2 or more colleagues. See Eligible Educational Activities (PDF) for more information. Note that Alternate Eligible Activities must be accredited in advance by the Law Society if the lawyer or paralegal is seeking Professionalism Hours. See CPD Accreditation Process for more information.
