Legal Aid Agency opens applications to approve inquest training courses
The agency’s October 16 update invites training providers to submit courses against final criteria for its new inquest category of law.
What the record says
The update describes two routes to the supervisor legal-competence standard: relevant case experience or an approved training course. Once approved, a course can help practitioners satisfy that standard.

Practical next step
Training providers can follow the official page’s link to the approved-training-course guidance for application instructions.
Limits and what is not established
The update opens applications for course approval. It does not approve every course, create automatic legal-aid eligibility for individuals or guarantee a provider contract. The page was first published October 8; October 16 is the application-information update.
