Diploma Centre Micro-credential Terms and Conditions
Please note important terms and conditions regarding micro-credentials.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information contained in these pages is accurate and up to date. The Diploma Centre reserves the right to change the Micro-credentials being offered, and course prices may be subject to change. The circumstances for these changes may be beyond our control. In the unlikely event that the Diploma Centre needs to cancel or reschedule a course, all fees are fully refundable.
We cannot guarantee that places will be available for any Micro-credential, and we advise signing up as possible. Course participant cancellations will only be accepted if submitted in writing no later than two weeks before the start of the course. Refunds may be subject to an administration charge. Fees are required to be paid in full prior to receiving log on access to online course materials. Fees will not be refunded once the course has started. Course fees are non-transferable.
Care has been taken to confirm the accuracy of the information presented in our Micro-credential flyer, on the Law Society of Ireland Micro-credential web pages, in personal communications, during course modules, and in all written materials. However, the Diploma Centre is not responsible for errors or omissions and makes no warranty, express or implied, with respect to the contents of the material delivered. The Diploma Centre cannot be held responsible for any consequences from the application of the information contained on the website or in the lectures, manuals, printed materials, and other communication and training provided.
Are you interested in receiving updates from the Diploma Centre on upcoming courses? You can register your interest, and we will contact you once your requested course is open for applications.
Please note that our Privacy Statement has been updated to reflect that successful completion of specific courses may involve participation in certain group activities, which may in certain cases, necessitate the sharing of email and contact details with the facilitators of such activities, or any students who are involved in the activity.

All Law Society of Ireland Diploma Centre assessments must be submitted by the required submission date.
Assignments will be awarded on a Pass (50% and above) / Fail (49% and below) basis.
Results will issue within 12 weeks of the submission date.
We have designed our courses to enable you to satisfy as much of your CPD requirement for your CPD cycles as possible. Time spent attending lectures and workshops in person or completing these via e-learning (that is, via the online lecture capture facility) as part of your Micro-credential, can be claimed towards your annual CPD requirement.
The number of hours of CPD that you may claim in relation to your diploma/certificate course will depend on the way in which you access each of the individual sessions.
Please note, regardless of the number of total hours available for completion of a course, the actual number of CPD hours credited depends on actual hours spent attending in person /viewing online the lectures/workshops, and a system of verification is in place to record and confirm the actual time completed.
For further information please visit the CPD scheme website. If you have a CPD query that is not related to our courses please contact the CPD Scheme Unit at cpdscheme@lawsociety.ie.
Upon successful completion of the assignment, you will be rewarded a Micro-credential qualification. You will receive this via a digital certificate. This qualification can be added to your CV and your LinkedIn profile.
The advantage of the Law Society micro-credentials is that they can be stacked, one-by-one, over time to lead to a greater award from the Law Society of Ireland. The completion of two micro-credentials results in the award of a Certificate, and the completion of 4 micro-credentials results in the award of a Diploma.
The stackability of a micro-credential expires 5 years from the start date of the first micro-credential.
Please note that the Law Society of Ireland's Diploma Centre reserves the right to change the micro-credential courses that may be offered. In addition, course prices may be subject to change and dates for lectures, workshops and exams are current, as at date of publication but may change.
We reserve the right to change the above terms and conditions.
