Why You Should Attend?

This course is aimed at all practitioners but particularly those operating a LAA contract or needing to meet the LAA's supervisory standards. 

To qualify as a LAA supervisor, there are a number of elements of the Supervision Standard which you need to meet. The first element is the Generic Supervision Standard. Where you cannot demonstrate that they have supervised another person for at least a year in the previous 5 year period (see the LAA Standard Contract Specification), you need to attend a course lasting at least 7 hours and which covers a series of topics. Our supervision & management course is designed to cover all of the above areas. The course is therefore particularly relevant for those either new to supervision or who cannot otherwise meet the Generic standard.

The content of the course is also relevant to all managers, principals and lawyers wishing to improve or brush up their supervisory and management skills.
