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

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