Compliance training built by barristers, for the Bar.
Bar-specific, CPD-accredited, and written by the same team who advise chambers on compliance every day. Available for individual barristers or chambers-wide rollout, with a full admin portal for the people who need to manage and evidence it.
Most training providers only do training. We do more.
Built from live advisory, not from a syllabus.
We have advised more than 150 sets of chambers on compliance issues. We know what breaches actually happen, which BSB queries arrive most often, and which gaps surface repeatedly in audits. That knowledge goes directly into the training. Our modules are not built around hypotheticals. They are built around real situations, real mistakes, and what the regulator is actually looking at.
Real cases, not scenarios
Training examples drawn from situations we have encountered advising chambers. Anonymised, but grounded in actual practice.
Current regulatory focus
We know what the BSB and ICO are scrutinising right now. That focus shapes what we emphasise.
Common mistakes surfaced
We know which compliance errors chambers make most often. The training addresses those gaps specifically.
What sets the Briefed Academy apart.
Every module is designed for the Bar and written by the barristers who advise on these issues daily.
Bar-specific, with BSB-accredited Public Access courses
Every module is designed for the Bar. Briefed is the only provider approved by the BSB to deliver on-demand Public Access training for barristers.
Updated when the law changes
When case law, legislation, or guidance changes, we update the content. Most eLearning is evergreen. Ours is not.
CPD-accredited
All modules attract CPD activity. Certificates issued automatically and stored in the portal for immediate access.
Self-led and flexible
Completed online, at a time that suits the user. No scheduling, no cohorts, no waiting for a group session.
Training that works for everyone in chambers.
Whether your chambers needs a managed training framework or an individual barrister wants a single module.
For chambers
Roll out a coherent, managed compliance training framework across all members and staff. Your chambers receives its own dedicated, branded learning portal with its own URL, its own branding, and full administrative control for the people who manage compliance.
We build a bespoke training plan tailored to your mandatory requirements. Annual and multi-year contracts available.
For barristers
Purchase individual modules directly from the course library. Self-led, immediately accessible, certificated on completion.
No subscription needed. Pay per course and complete at your own pace.
Your chambers' own secure learning portal.
Every chambers that trains with Briefed receives its own dedicated compliance portal with its own URL, its own branding, and its own administrative controls. It is not a shared platform with your chambers' name on it. It is a private environment, built for your set, where the people who manage compliance have full oversight of training across all members and staff. No other compliance training provider at the Bar offers this.
Your own branded URL
Your chambers' portal lives at its own web address with your branding, logo, and colour scheme. Members log in to a platform that looks familiar.
Secure and private
Your chambers' data is fully segregated. No other set can see your members, your completion rates, or your training records. Complete data privacy between chambers.
Allocate training by role
Assign specific courses to members, pupils, clerks, and staff based on their role and compliance obligations. Different people need different training, and the portal reflects that.
Completion tracking and pass rates
Real-time visibility over who has completed what, who is in progress, and who has not started. See pass and fail rates across every module.
Automated reminders
The system chases completions on your behalf. Members and staff receive prompts automatically. No other provider at the Bar offers automated training reminders.
Compliance reports on demand
Generate reports for management committee, BSB inspection, or insurer audit at any point. Evidence of compliance, produced in seconds.
New joiner onboarding
Add new members, pupils, or staff instantly. The right training is assigned from day one, with automated enrolment and reminders from the start.
CPD certificates stored centrally
Certificates are issued automatically on completion and stored in the portal. Always available, always accessible. No chasing individuals.
Content updates automatically
When we update a module, because legislation has changed or guidance has developed, your portal reflects it immediately. No versioning to manage.
BSB inspection ready
When the BSB asks for evidence of compliance training, it takes seconds to produce. Every completion, every certificate, every date: recorded and retrievable.
Hours saved every month
No manual tracking, no chasing, no spreadsheets. The portal handles compliance administration that would otherwise land on a clerk or practice manager already running a full desk.
Full operational control
Chambers administrators allocate training, manage members, set deadlines, and run reports without needing Briefed to do it for them. Self-service, when you want it. Support, when you need it.
