Subsidy from Your Law Society
Candidates in Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, and British Columbia (effective September 2026) may be eligible for a tuition subsidy from their law society. CPLED requires direct confirmation of eligibility before a subsidy can be issued. Your registration details will be shared with your law society for verification once you register.
For subsidy criteria, contact your law society directly:
How subsidies work: Students or firms pay the full tuition to CPLED. The law society then issues the subsidy directly to the payor.
Submitting
Your Tuition Fee Payment
All tuition payments must be made payable to The Canadian Centre for Professional Legal Education (CPLED). CPLED is registered as an approved payee with all major Canadian banks, making online bill payment a convenient option.
Payments must be made after you have received an invoice through the CPLED Student Portal. You may pay by online bill payment, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), or wire transfer. We do not accept payments by cheque, credit card, or e-transfer.
- Log in to your online banking system.
- Add “The Canadian Centre for Professional Legal Education” or “CPLED” as a payee on your payee payment profile (name will vary from bank to bank).
- Enter your student number as the Payee Account number (name will vary from bank to bank). Your four- or five-digit student number is located at the top of your invoice.
- Allow up to seven business days for online payments to be processed.
- Complete the EFT transaction using CPLED’s banking institution information located on your PREP course tuition fee invoice.
- Account for any EFT fees that your financial institution may charge. It is your responsibility to pay that fee and ensure the full amount due to CPLED is remitted.
