Choose your plan

“The Bar Council’s Chambers Training Package has been an excellent resource for our chambers. The ability to use training credits for both staff and members is particularly valuable, allowing us to offer high-quality, compliant training while removing common barriers - for example, the pupil supervisor training is accessible and flexible and we have seen an increased uptake as members can fit it around their other commitments, whilst being reassured it has been developed by the Bar Council."

– Sarah Earl, Chambers Director, Old Square Chambers

Money-saving discounts

Our packages also come with discounts for our most popular recruitment event and service – the Pupillage Fair and Pupillage Gateway.

Each training course costs credits. You can see how many credits each course is on the table below. Each credit is equivalent to about one hour of training.

To use your credits, simply book through our Training and events team. Our team will regularly update you with your credit balance to ensure you’re getting the most out of your plan.

You can use your credits on scheduled training courses, or on courses delivered in your chambers (minimum 8 attendees) at a date and time to suit you. Talk to our Training and events team to discuss your specific training needs.

Why pick us?

The Bar Council is the voice of the barrister profession – representing and supporting the nearly 18,000 barristers in England and Wales, and championing the rule of law and access to justice.

We run an extensive training and events programme tailored to the needs of barristers and chambers staff. All our trainers have worked in the legal sector, bringing their professional experience in to the course.

Our training focusses on day-to-day application, drawing on real-life case studies and the latest updates in the sector, so you’ll come away with practical advice, knowledge and resources to embed your learning straight away.

We know that not everyone likes to learn in the same way, so we offer a range of formats including in person, online and on-demand. And if you want to learn as a group in your chambers or organisation we can come to you. We offer discounts for group bookings, and Bar Representation Fee subscribers always get 20% off all our training and events.
