Testimonials
The most useful element of the day for me was the breakout rooms. This allowed real, in depth, discussions to take place with fellow trainees and was as close to an actual CPD event as possible!
I think everybody involved was great and really accommodating for everyone’s individual circumstances. The module was easy to follow, plenty of opportunity ask questions and overall the session ran very smoothly.
Taking part in module 2 of TCPD provided by the Law Society was a beneficial overview to the ethical responsibilities in our capacity as trainees. Our breakout rooms allowed for in-depth discussions of ethical dilemmas which progressed to a lively debate on our obligations at the end of the session.
