LTC4’s nine Learning Plans are based on real-life scenarios and include Working with Legal Documents; Managing Documents & Emails; Time Recording; Remote Working and Security Awareness. They are “application-agnostic” and are therefore relevant regardless of the software in use.

Joint initiative objectives

Within a competitive legal services industry environment, the primary objective of this joint initiative is to promote operational efficiencies and raise standards. It will offer access to quality learning outcomes for small to medium sized law firms and individuals across the world.

“Tens of thousands of smaller firms and individuals do not have the same resources as the large law firms. However, there is still a requirement within the legal services industry for personnel to upskill, particularly within ever-changing technology and the evolving demands of law firm clients,” stated Bonnie Beuth, Chair of LTC4.

“In conjunction with raising standards and driving productivity, this initiative will be a mechanism providing learning pathways for legal professionals embarking on career progression,” stated Shaun Locke, CEO of Novum Learning.

“Novum Learning and LTC4 will deliver outcomes for lawyers who need to adapt to an ever-changing, ever-demanding digital world. Through this initiative, both organizations aim to address knowledge gaps and provide professionals with Certification of competence on the core technology skills needed within the profession,” added Bonnie Beuth, Chair of LTC4. 

Initiative based outcomes

Courtesy of the alliance, Novum Learning and LTC4 will extend their reach to lawyers and law firms who want to adopt industry-standard continuing legal education using an efficient, cost- effective, and accessible eLearning approach.

“As per the World Economic Forum research which stated that on average, students retain 25-60% more when learning online compared to a classroom environment. This is mainly due to the students learning faster online; e-learning requires 40-60% less time than in a traditional setting due to students learning at their own pace and accelerating through concepts and content they are familiar with. When you consider these findings and introduce LTC4’s quality framework within the mix, then the results will be outstanding,” stated Shaun Locke, CEO of Novum Learning.
