CPD Requirements for SRA

Most legal practitioners in the United Kingdom (England & Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland) require Continuing Professional Development or Continuing Competence Hours to maintain their professional designation. Browse courses that meet your requirements, or choose one of our course packages, specially curated to contain the hours and credits you need, in a single place. The courses on LearnFormula may be counted towards professionally relevant, verifiable, structured learning activities. It is the student's responsibility to validate whether an activity is an eligible educational activity for their professional development requirements based on their own learning needs.

Simplifying Regulations for 2026

All solicitors under the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) must reflect on their practice and undertake regular learning and development so their skills and knowledge remain up to date. All solicitors will need to make an annual declaration to the SRA that they have done this. Solicitors can decide which activities will help them to deliver a proper standard of service. The SRA does not require solicitors to undertake accredited training, and there is no minimum requirement for the amount of hours that must be spent devoted to continuing competence.

Do CounselCPD courses count toward SRA CPD?

CounselCPD courses are built around relevant, verifiable content that can be applied toward SRA CPD hours. As with any provider, it remains the member's responsibility to confirm an activity fits their own professional development needs before claiming it.
