Future changes

We are committed to providing the best learning experience for our learners, ensuring the highest level of competency in their chosen fields. As a result, we are updating our Expert Witness Series. This change will see the addition of a workshop, which will allow entry into our new Register of new Expert Witnesses (subject to meeting further eligibility criteria).

Anyone who has completed all eight of the current online modules that make up the full series can add on this workshop at a small additional cost. This means you can still enrol onto this current full programme to begin your learning and add on the workshop when it becomes available.

Alternatively, you can register your interest in the new programme and we will contact you with further information closer to the launch date.

Please note: If you have completed some of the current modules, but not the full series of eight modules, you may also be eligible to add on the remaining modules and the workshop at a discounted cost.
