What is ETP?

• A project awarded (August 2012) by the EC to the CCBE to develop an IT platform to provide EU-wide information about lawyers’ training courses

• It arose from a lack of easy accessibility to information about training courses for lawyers

• ETP started on 1 February 2013 and will last for two years

Partners

• The project is implemented by the CCBE with a partnership of bars from: Belgium (OBFG), Estonia, Luxembourg, France and Italy

• However, the project is open to all CCBE delegations which wish to participate

• A subgroup, composed of training experts, has been created to deal with policy issues arising

Organisation of the project

• Two main components:

1. Policy component: e.g. search fields, criteria for training providers

2. IT component: two phases: (a) building the IT platform and (b) testing phase

How ETP will work

• ETP is a platform supported by two possible IT solutions (to be decided):

- Web-portal: Training providers (TPs) upload the information in a template to the system, which registers it

- Mash-up: the ETP goes directly to TPs’ websites and extracts the information

from there, using web-services.

For TPs to be recognised for the purpose of ETP, at least 3 of these 6 criteria are necessary at the same time:

1. The TP is recognised in the Member State and by member Bars as an authorised training provider

2. The main purpose of the TP is to train lawyers and/or lawyers and other legal professionals.

3. In principle, the training provided by the TP is open to all lawyers (i.e. not only to members of a specific Member State, organisation or other closed group).

4. The TP offers a good selection of courses on different practice areas of law, including EU and comparative law.

5. The TP offers training during the whole year (i.e. it is a permanent training institution).

6. The TP is well-known, and information about the courses it offers reaches a large number of lawyers (i.e. the TPs publish information about their training courses on their websites, in law magazines etc.).
