RE5 practice question with a worked answer. This is one of hundreds of FSCA RE5 questions in the RegulatoryExams question bank.

  1. a) Optional reading with no minimum and no record-keeping.
  2. b) A one-off course taken once in a career and never repeated.
  3. c) A recurring obligation to complete a minimum number of relevant, often accredited, CPD hours each cycle to stay current.Correct
  4. d) The same thing as passing the regulatory examination.

Why this is the answer

CPD is an ongoing, cyclical requirement: a minimum number of relevant CPD hours must be completed each cycle and recorded, keeping already-qualified people current. It is neither a once-off course nor the regulatory exam.
