Regulation 6: CPD requirement during the first months after registration with the SRA pursuant to the Establishment Directive

6.1

If you are an REL, you must undertake one hour of CPD for each whole month in legal practice or employment between the date of initial registration and the start of the next full CPD year.

Guidance note:

(i)

If your admission date or date of initial registration is 1 November, you will automatically enter into your first full CPD year and be required to complete 16 hours of CPD. This also applies in those years where 1 November falls at the weekend and you are admitted or initially registered the following week.
