(a special version for the legal sector following the SRA guidelines is available too - click here to be redirected)

If you need a clear cut, easily managed system for all staff to identify their professional development, saving hours of fee-earning time, then look no further...
A comprehensive tool kit with in-depth guidance notes, development needs analysis forms and ideas to take the development process forward on a continual basis for both managers and their fee-earners.
Contained in a protective wallet as loose documents on 160 gsm robust sheets for you to reproduce at will (in house only, not for commercial use) and sent securely to you for £249.50 (plus VAT) - not long to recover at your professional rates!
The surprisingly simple system for all staff to master their Continuing Professional Development to progress their careers and reap the rewards they deserve.
