CPD Direct

At UNSW Edge we understand CPD, we understand the law and we understand you. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to get all your requirements, in the most easy, practicable and engaging way, whilst still being relevant to you and your practice.

CPD Direct will do this by delivering virtual personalised learning based on your area of practice, years in practice and type of practice. Further, it will cover all required mandatory CPD units and knowledge areas, and have several different formats over the period, to maximise your engagement.

The subscription runs from July to June, and will deliver content directly to you on the third Wednesday of each month. View our packages here.

Micro credentials 

UNSW Law recognises that there is more that is needed in the modern world rather than just knowledge. Professionals and non-professionals need to acquire and have recognised knowledge and skills that employers seek in a rapidly changing workforce.

Micro-credentials are not university qualifications; they are certifications and badges that allow individuals to demonstrate that they have obtained certain skills and applied knowledge through short courses. These credentials are useful to employees, employers and clients in their immediate recognition of an individual’s skills.

There are several micro-credentials currently being offered to in-house clients and will be made public shortly.


Counting seminars, short courses and micro credentials towards the UNSW Master of Laws (LLM)
