Develop your expertise. Demonstrate your competence. Gain recognition.
Our certification courses are designed for legal professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and skills in a particular area of practice and have that achievement recognised by the Law Society of Scotland.
What is certification?
Unlike our accreditation programmes, which recognise expertise developed over time, certification is awarded through the successful completion of a structured course of training and assessment.
Whether you’re looking to deepen your knowledge, build confidence, or enhance your personal profile, certification provides a clear pathway to strengthen your capabilities and demonstrate your achievement.
What's involved in a certification course?
Our certification courses combines expert led training, online independent learning and an end-of-course assessment. Courses typically include:
14+ hours of verifiable CPD
Online learning materials and resources
Live training delivered by recognised experts
Assessed coursework leading to certification
