New partner practice management course This course is applicable to you if you have become partner, director or shareholder of your firm in the past 12 months, or you are thinking about becoming partner, director or shareholder. Rule D.2.2 requires that everyone who becomes a manager of a practice attends a practice management course within 12 months of assuming that role. The term ‘manager’ is defined in the Rule and includes sole practitioners, a partner in a firm, a member or director of an incorporated practice. We recommend that you read the details of Rule D.2.2. The course is delivered in the form of online modules and a one-day training day. Please note, before attending the training day component of the course, you must have completed the online modules and training day pre-reading. More information → |
