CPD Claimable Hours:

The Law Society’s CPD Regulations provide that one can only claim the actual hours attended at an event as part of your compliance, and that there is a maximum limit of seven hours of CPD within a single day (24 hours) that may be claimed as a credit towards fulfilling their minimum CPD requirement. The number of CPD hours indicated in this notice, and on CPD Certificates issued, are the maximum claimable in respect of a seminar/event when attended in full. For any Modules which require the active participation of attendees in an interactive workshop format, the CPD points allocated to such Module is inclusive of the Law Society’s bonus credit (calculated as an additional one-quarter (25%) of the actual time spent on attending such interactive workshops/sessions).

Disclaimer:

The course content and materials of any event are compiled and delivered by, and are the sole responsibility of the speaker, and neither the Bar Association (The Irish Bar Association (Promoters) Limited) nor CPD Board (CPD Board Limited), their servants or agents or representatives shall be responsible or liable to compensate whatsoever anyone who relies thereon.

CPD Certificates:

CPD certificates are emailed to attendees within a reasonable time after the event. If we receive any request for CPD certificates (whether for the original(s) or duplicate(s)) at any other time(s) or by any other means (e.g. electronically, or by post, etc.), each certificate will be supplied only on prior payment on each occasion of an Administration Charge of €50 (+ VAT where exigible) accompanied by a stamped SAE when being supplied by us to you by post. Lesson: don’t omit to save them onto your local records after you’ve received them by email!

To ensure we have the CPD certificate at any event for the correct attendee to take away, please notify us no more than two days before the booked event of such intended substitute or alternative date/venue/seminar/event. Verifiable notice to the Bar Association and/or CPD Board inside that period cannot guarantee the availability of the CPD certificate(s) for collection at the event, and the aforesaid Administration Charge shall apply to any request for same thereafter.
