"We looked carefully at the options before selecting a trainer to prepare our delegates for the new-style Higher Rights assessment.
We chose CPD Training for several reasons. They offered a 3-day course, shorter than some other trainers. Although minimising the disruption to work schedules, we were satisfied this was not at the expense of either the quality of the training or its comprehensiveness.
And we knew that in Peter Lyons we had a trainer who would make the course engaging and fun, as well as informative.
We had delegates ranging from newly qualifieds to partners. The feedback from all of our delegates was very positive.
CPD Training dealt with the issues involved in setting up the course and assessments (including accommodating special needs where required) with the minimum possible fuss.
And all of our delegates passed the assessment!"

"I am a commercial litigator approaching 3 years PQE working for a City Firm. I was in a rush to obtain my higher rights of audience, and Peter Lyons and CPD Training made a huge effort to accommodate me in training they were providing to another firm, which was greatly appreciated.
The training I received was thorough, considered, and above all practical, giving me what I needed to not only pass the assessment, but also to ensure I knew what I was doing the first time I stood up in Court.
CPD provided all the materials I needed, and made sure I understood exactly what the whole assessment experience would entail. They also ensured that the training they provided was interesting, challenging and, thanks to a fantastic individual teaching style, fun. I had a great time over the whole of the 3 day course.
From my experience, CPD Training (UK) is a training organisation which provides you with much more than CPD points: you also have a genuine opportunity to learn and further develop your career. I would recommend them to all solicitors serious about their career."
