Students will spend five consecutive days at the Foundation Workshops and four consecutive days at the Capstone. 

The total program cost for the Practice Readiness Education Program (PREP) is $6,100. What you may not know is this cost is partially subsidized by CPLED’s participating law societies. To view the detailed cost structure of PREP for this year, visit program cost.

The employer or the student may pay for the tuition, but the employer is under no obligation to cover the costs.

Payments can be made by, online bill payment, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or wire transfer. Visit the payment information page for all of the details on how to make a payment.

Unfortunately no, the cost to administer credit card transactions is costly, thus in an effort to keep tuition fees affordable, we have opted to not accept credit card payments.

Unfortunately no, the manual process required to process cheque payments can be timely, costly and outweighs their effectiveness.

Online bill payment is a fast and secure way to may a payment with a Canadian bank account. Payments are processed through the financial institution’s own banking service.

1. Log on to your bank’s online system
2. Create a payee profile. Add “The Canadian Centre for Professional Legal Education” or “CPLED” as a payee on your bill payment profile (name will vary from bank to bank)
3. Enter your account information. Your account number is located at the bottom of your invoice and is your three digit student number, example 361
4. Allow for processing time. It may take up to five business days for online payments to be processed.

For support on setting up online payment, contact your financial institution.

Responsibilities vary according to the level of engagement of the employer or principal. You are responsible for providing students with the time necessary to successfully complete PREP activities. The level of your involvement will certainly contribute to a student’s success.

The most important way you can support students is by giving them the time necessary to complete PREP activities and discussing the student’s progress. 

Specific communications will be sent to Principals only if their student is not progressing to the next phase in PREP or if they are unsuccessful at the Capstone. However, we encourage Principals to make inquiries regarding progress with the student directly.

The PREP schedule is posted to the program schedule page of our website. Please note the schedule is subject to availability and change.
