Description
Canadian Professional Responsibility is a core subject for NCA candidates and requires more than memorizing the Model Code of Professional Conduct or listing disciplinary rules. Students must understand how ethical duties operate in practice, how regulators and courts apply professional standards, and how those principles should be applied to complex factual scenarios in an exam.
The course is designed to help students identify professional responsibility issues, state the governing rules accurately, apply them to client problems using structured analysis, and present a clear and well‑organized answer within the time available in the NCA examination.
Classes focus on both conceptual understanding and practical exam preparation. Students will learn how to distinguish between related duties, avoid common analytical errors, approach hypothetical scenarios with confidence, and write answers that are legally supported and responsive to the question asked.
Instructor: Varsha Ravi · For the November 2026 NCA Exam · Live on Google Meet · Classes: 28 September to 1 November 2026 · Registration closes 28 September 2026.
