CONTINUING LEGAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CLPD) PROGRAMME FOR DUBAI
ON-LINE LESSONS NOW QUALIFY FOR CLPD POINTS
From 1st January 2017 CLPD Points are now available from our on-line courses and lessons as well as live training events.
All our on-line courses automatically carry 4 CLPD points but we can also provide 2 hour and 4 hour tailored on-line training events which will provide 2 and 4 CLPD points, respectively.
On the 1st of October 2015, the Bylaw Concerning the Registration of Legal Consultants in the Emirate of Dubai came into effect adopting the “Rules and Procedures for Continuing Legal Professional Development Bylaw for Legal Consultants in the Emirate of Dubai”
For existing registered Legal Consultants, Article 5 of the Bylaw requires that they must complete the Required CLPD in each Filing Period by obtaining a total of 16 CLPD Points and for new Legal Consultants the requirement is (24) CLPD Points as follows:
Newly registered Legal Consultants must obtain a minimum number of points in each 3 month period. as shown in the table below.
| Duration until the end of the current Filing Period | % of the Required CLPD |
| 9-12 Months | 100% of the Required CLPD |
| 6-9 Months | 75<% of the Required CLPD |
| 3-6 Months | 50% of the Required CLPD |
| Less than 3 Months | 25% of the Required CLPD |
The points requirement is split into 2 parts:
- Minimum of 8 Mandatory CLPD Activities; and
- Minimum of 8 points obtained from Accredited CLPD Activities, selected by the Legal Consultant accredited training activities. 6 of these points may be from Accredited CLPD Activities, selected by the Legal Consultant from the activities accredited by the Department.
This is where we come in!
We are authorised by the Legal Affairs Dep't of the Gov't of Dubai, to run live CLPD training events. The training events are held either at our premises in Business Bay or the Legal Affairs Dep’t training building in Deira. The Certificates of achievement will carry the stamps and logos of the British legal centre plus 4 CLPD points from the Government of Dubai Legal Affairs Dep't.
You can find a list of our training events, including the CLPD events, by following this link to our future seminars page: Check our Seminars
The training events carrying CLPD points have the letters CLPD, shown in red, so they can be quickly identified.
We also have the capability of constructing CLPD training events which are tailored to the individual needs of niche Law Companies or Corporate Legal Departments and will be happy to advise on your training needs - You can call us on our Skype Number: 0044 208 144 6440 any time.
We are aware of the price that the providers of the Mandatory CLPD points training are asking. We believe that our training events are of an equal or higher calibre but are more realistically priced for the Dubai legal training market. In particular, by registering as a CLPD student with us, we can offer a discounted price on all the Non-Mandatory CLPD training you study with us.
Corporate, Group and Early bird discounts are always available and we will be very happy to discuss any questions or issues you may have regarding the training scheme or the training events.
