All of our courses offer flexible online learning options. Learn about our online learning environment the ‘Diploma Hub’ and our webcasting facilities below.
Diploma Hub
Diploma Hub is our learning management system. The site acts as a repository for course information, course materials and a point of access for webcasts (if applicable). Access to Diploma Hub is only for the duration of your particular diploma or certificate course and will be withdrawn upon course completion. At the start of your course there will be an introductory lecture during which you will be shown how to use and access this site. All course participants are given a log in and password at course commencement. Diploma Hub is also fully mobile optimized to suit busy learners on the go.
How to login to Diploma Hub
- Go to https://lawschool.lawsociety.ie
- Enter your username and password. You will be advised of your unique numerical username in advance of starting the course. The initial password is set to 'changeme'.
- You will be prompted to change your password to something secure that you will remember.
If you have any login queries, email diplomateam@lawsociety.ie
Webcasting
Webcasts of our lectures are available live and are also available to play back on demand at a time that suits you. Our customized design for the webcast facility has an inbuilt message board allowing participants to message the lecturer live thus adding to the potential for interaction and providing remote learners with an authentic lecture hall experience. Lectures are webcast 'live' on our secure internet site and will remain on the Diploma Hub for the duration of the course.
Course Interface
Every Diploma Centre course follows an intuitive tab-based menu system to access your course content.
- Sessions : Lecture webcasts, slides and additional materials are posted here in order of date.
- Discussion forum : Peer-to-peer learning is an important component in our courses, with participants encouraged to interact on the discussion forums with fellow students.

Interactive Learning
The Diploma Centre champions the use of innovative technology to both enhance our content and encourage engagement with learning materials.
In addition to lecture presentations, many of our courses feature customized interactive materials such as quizzes, infographics and eLectures.
Mobile Professional Learning (MPL) Project
Accessibility is one of the key factors in providing professional continuing development courses for busy practitioners, many of whom are working full-time. We are driven to provide practitioners with a variety of means to access our courses and consume content.
The 'mobile professional learning' or MPL project combines several technological initiatives, including a specifically designed learning management system, blended learning (on-site and online), customized webcasting of lectures and an app designed specifically to facilitate a student-centred approach and place control in your hands.
