A brand new university certificated training programme will be launched virtually on Thursday 10 September 2020 4.45 pm.

In conjunction with the University of Aberdeen, Bond Solon is launching the first university certificated expert witness training programme in Scotland. This unique certificate will enable expert witnesses to demonstrate, to both instructing lawyers and the courts, that they have been trained, assessed and hold the core and requisite competencies to act as an expert witness in Scotland.

To date over 1,500 experts from a wide variety of professions have completed the Cardiff University Bond Solon (CUBS) Expert Witness Certificate, a corresponding certificate for expert witnesses who act in English and Welsh jurisdiction.

The free virtual launch will include contributions from the Lord Advocate, Lisa Henderson QC and Paul Mosson, Law Society of Scotland.
