Have you thought about your annual CPD Training?
As you may be aware, all MOT Testers are obligated by the DVSA to take annual CPD Training from the 1st April to 31st March. This is to be done yearly. All MOT Testers must complete 16 hours in total and 5 assessments, over 5 years.
The Government don’t like it when MOT Testers complete the Training at the last minute.

Laws and Regulations of CPD Training
In the UK, DVSA provide a set of guidelines for all UK driving testers.
It’s known as, the Continuous Professional Development (CPD). In conclusion, it makes sure that UK MOT testers are always up-to-date with changing laws, procedures and training.
UK CPD Training is a mandatory requirement for ALL MOT testers.
All technicians must have, an annual re-assessment of knowledge. The reason for this, is to remain competent to carry out MOT tests.
All MOT testing stations MUST provide a quality of CPD training, that is at least equal to the UK national standard for UK CPD training.
This means, CPD training must be used by all UK MOT testers, as a benchmark.
MOT testers, must ensure that they are adhering to the UK laws, rules and regulations of the CPD training.
If Mot testing station owners fail to comply with these rules, they will risk their MOT Testing station being closed down by the DVSA .
CPD Training in UK isn’t took lightly!
CPD Training is a legal requirement for all test stations conducting tests on behalf of the Department of Transport, through the DVSA.
To sum up, Health & Safety law requires that everyone at work carries out a risk assessment, for any task they do as part of their daily work.
