Public Access Training for Barristers

Public Access

HJT Training are an Bar Standards Board approved provider to train barristers in the Public Access training scheme following changes in Public Access training requirements made by the Bar Standards Board in 2013.

All barristers are required to complete Public Access training prior to undertaking Public Access work. This includes barristers with less than three years’ practising provided they also seek feedback from their clients and maintain a log of all cases that they have dealt with. The training provided will prepare barristers by giving them the knowledge, understanding and skills required to undertake Public Access work.
