As the November deadline for changes to CPD approaches, many law firms have a clearer vision for how to implement the SRA’s new approach to continuing competence.

The top feature request we have received is the ability to customise the VinciWorks Continuing Competence Module to fit with internal language and procedures.

Every single word and link can be customised

As you can see from the screenshot below, we have redesigned the software so that every word in the module can be modified. Some of the changes firms have made so far include:

• Links to internal career development frameworks
• Changing the words “learning needs” to “learning objectives”
• Hiding stage 4 of the process (the annual declaration) at certain times of year

Replace SRA competence framework with internal one

By default the Continuining Competence Module is populated with the competencies set out by the SRA in the SRA Competence Statement. This enables users to easily populate their learning records with relevant competencies. Many firms, however, have asked if they can replace this list with an internal list of competencies. This is now possible. Any list of internal competencies, with any taxonomy, can be added to the system for easy access by the users.
