The Curriculum and Assessment Strategy sets out the requirements for all three components of training for the Bar: academic, vocational, and pupillage/work-based learning. It sets out how each component of Bar training is mapped to the Professional Statement. Training providers must adhere to the Curriculum and Assessment Strategy to be authorised to deliver Bar training.
A compulsory course in Negotiation Skills is planned, with the introduction date to be confirmed. More information will be added here in due course.
