The idea

What is LPEN Academy?

At LPEN, we understand that CPD courses alone may not always cover every practical detail necessary to confidently prepare immigration applications. That is why we introduced LPEN Academy: a faster way to get to the information and tips you are looking for.

LPEN Academy is a library of concise, practical videos offering step-by-step instructions and expert guidance on completing common immigration forms and preparing critical documents for various applications. Designed to complement your CPD education, it’s the perfect resource for both new practitioners and seasoned professionals looking to deepen their expertise.

Whether you are new to the profession or looking to expand your knowledge, LPEN Academy provides carefully curated resources that complement your CPD education and take your skills to the next level. These short videos have been curated from past CPD events as well as created specifically for LPEN Academy by our expert instructors.
