Fit & Proper FSP License (Fit & Proper/Operational Ability)

Over the past CPD cycle Kabelo, a representative authorised for investments, did several things. Which of these would his key individual NOT be able to count towards Kabelo's continuous professional development (CPD) hours?

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

  1. a) Sitting and passing the regulatory examination required of representatives.Correct
  2. b) Attending a full-day accredited workshop on the tax treatment of investments.
  3. c) Completing a structured, assessed self-study module on recent investment-tax changes.
  4. d) Attending an accredited seminar on financial crime and its impact on advisers.

Why this is the answer

CPD is about ongoing, structured learning that keeps an already-qualified person current. Passing the regulatory examination is a fit-and-proper competence requirement, not a CPD activity, so it cannot be counted. Accredited workshops, assessed self-study and relevant seminars are all valid CPD.
