On the Atlas: five places to look for your next CPD activity
Explore five legal CPD providers on the Atlas, with options spanning online learning, seminars and dispute resolution training.

The best reason to choose a CPD activity is the piece of work it will help you understand. A difficult conversation with a client, a developing practice area or a procedural question can give the search a sharper focus than an approaching deadline. This week’s Atlas discoveries introduce five providers through the different kinds of learning they offer.
Australian Disputes Centre: learning around the dispute
The Australian Disputes Centre offers dispute resolution courses, events and professional development. It is an interesting starting point for practitioners whose work increasingly involves negotiated outcomes or facilitated discussions. Explore the specific course and its audience: an introductory session and sustained skills training serve different purposes. The Atlas profile provides a route into that program without assuming that every reader is seeking the same qualification or level of experience.

CPD Interactive: an online learning shelf

CPD Interactive offers online legal professional development as part of the College of Law’s programs. Its subject areas include ethics, professional skills, substantive law and practice management, with individual and firm subscription options. It is worth browsing when learning needs to fit around an uneven diary. Look at the course itself and the access arrangements before treating a subscription as the right way to meet a particular learning need.

LawCPD: a different format for the same curiosity
LawCPD is an Australian online legal professional development provider offering interactive courses, packs and subscriptions. Its Atlas entry makes it a useful stop for readers examining how online learning might fit their own habits. Choose a subject that connects with actual work, then consider the format and the time it requires. CPD credit depends on the particular activity and the applicable jurisdictional rules.
LawInform: a law society’s online catalogue
LawInform is the Law Society of New South Wales’ online CPD course platform. Its institutional connection gives readers a clear starting point for browsing the available program. For a practitioner returning to a topic after a period away, an online catalogue can also help identify which questions need closer attention. Follow the Atlas profile and check the scope of the individual course rather than inferring suitability from its title alone.

Legalwise Seminars: the seminar as a focused appointment
Legalwise Seminars offers legal seminars, conferences and on-demand professional development across Australian practice areas. Its program includes substantive law alongside professional skills and practice topics. It is worth exploring when a defined session on a specific subject is the most useful next step. Compare the individual program and delivery arrangements with the work you want to improve, including whether the timing allows you to give it proper attention.
