Law Society Finuas Skillnet is delighted to announce the launch of its new blockchain based Digital CPD Certificate. A digital certificate allows the authenticity of CPD compliance to be verified in seconds. Practitioners will be able to share and verify the certificate as proof of learning and development achievements. 

 

With blockchain, practitioners can verify with others - such as the Law Society CPD Scheme section - the authenticity of your certificate in a matter of seconds. Receive them once, share and verify them for a lifetime as proof of learning and development achievements.

 

This initiative is the result of collaboration between Law Society Finuas Skillnet and VerifyEd. Practitioners’ Digital CPD and educational certificates will be in one secure, digital location. In summary, you will be provided with a secure virtual library where you can save future digital CPD certificates.  This allows Law Society Finuas Skillnet the ability to better serve practitioners, by providing an encrypted platform to issue and store CPD certificates with cryptographic proof that they were issued by Law Society Finuas Skillnet.

 

We are piloting this with the GDPR in Action: Guidance for Legal Practitioners on Data Security and Data Breaches online seminar before hopefully expanding to all our CPD cluster events, masterclasses, workshops and seminars in 2021.
