It’s quick and easy. You don’t need any extra software or downloads - just internet access (broadband is highly recommended). See our Computer Requirements page for more details. Choose someone to be the your firm or branch administrator. They will be responsible for administering the online users for your firm, including:
- creating and removing users for the firm
- ensuring all users have access to and learn from the relevant online training package modules
- administering passwords.
Your firm administrator and others using the system will need to do the full training from our online learning pack before starting to use the system. This is supported with a training telephone helpline. You may have more than one firm administrator, but we recommend you limit the number as a security measure.
To get set up using this service, including training, give us the details below by sending an email to online@slab.org.uk

Firm administrator - name of your firm administrator, what is their role or post, a note of their e-mail address and solicitor's code if relevant.
