CPDonline - VIDEOS 24/7
FOLA has partnered with CPDonline.ca to provide Ontario's law association members access to their extensive cpd library for just $399.00 per year. All their videos are fully accredited and their vast array of content is available 24/7.
As a bonus, CPDOnline will pay Law Associations $100 per association subscriber - RENEWALS INCLUDED!
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A FULL YEAR OF 24/7/365 CPD!
REMINDER: All lawyers who have a CPD obligation for 2019, and who do not complete and/or report their CPD Hours through the Law Society Portal by December 31, 2019, will be charged a late reporting fee of $200, in addition to being subject to administrative suspension.
Don't let that message catch you off guard!
The Law Society no longer makes calls to remind licensees about administrative obligations. You should visit CPD the Portal regularly to view important documents, upcoming deadlines, and keep your email and other contact information current.
ASSOCIATIONS: WANT TO EARN EVEN MORE $$??
CPDOnline will also pay for your content!
Your Association's CPD videos are an untapped goldmine! Through FOLA's arrangement, you can reach out to Paul Byrne at CPDOnline and discuss how you can earn money through selling them your existing videos.
The Carleton County Law Association, Halton LA, Middlesex LA, Frontenac LA, and Lanark LA have all jumped on board!
You should too! Contact Paul today at paul.byrne@cpdonline.ca!
TESTIMONIALS
"CPDonline’s programs are professional and the website is easy to use. The videos are also a much better price and quality compared to other on-demand providers."
Frances Brennan, Criminal Lawyer, Individual Subscriber
"We have five lawyers in the firm; we use to spend around $6000.00 per year. Now with CPDonline we spend a fraction of that…$1566.00."
Nicholas E. Gehl, Wills Estates, Real Estate, Firm Subscriber

CPD DEAL FOR LAW ASSOCIATIONS
IT's AN WIN FOR EVERYONE!
YOUR ASSOCIATION WINS, YOUR MEMBERS WIN, AND YOUR LIBRARIAN WINS!
By becoming subscribers to CPDonline, your members would have on-demand access to the best CPD available.
They would save hundreds per year on what they would otherwise pay and your association would receive thousands (maybe even tens of thousands) of dollars every year.
Plus, showing CPDonline videos to groups will reinforce the library as a CPD resource centre and meeting place for members.
EARN MONEY BY OFFERING CPD TO MEMBERS!
For every member who purchases a CPDonline subscription, CPDOnline will pay your Association $100.00 - EACH & EVERY year! - Renewals included!
Your members must get their 12 hours of CPD per year. But why should they pay as much as 4x the price elsewhere to get hours?
CPDonline has Ontario Law Association content for as little as $399.00 per year!
MAKING LIFE EASIER FOR LIBRARIANS
When groups are CPDonline subscribers, it’s hassle free for the librarian: no fees to collect, no handouts to print, no attendance certificates to disseminate.
These administrative undertakings are automated because the members are CPDonline subscribers.
All handouts are made available in their CPDonline accounts & certificates are automatically emailed to each attendee.
So what does the Librarian have to do to show CPDonline videos to subscribers?
1. Add the email addresses of attendees in the field under the video
&
2. Hit the Play button.
