From electric vehicles to autonomous driving technology, the landscape is constantly changing. CPD enables automotive professionals to stay abreast of these advancements, ensuring they can effectively implement new technologies, troubleshoot emerging issues and offer cutting-edge solutions to consumers.  Regulations governing the automotive industry are also continually evolving, particularly concerning safety and environmental standards. CPD ensures professionals remain informed about these regulations, reducing the risk of non-compliance and associated penalties. Moreover, staying updated on safety standards through CPD helps enhance product quality and consumer trust, ultimately contributing to a safer driving experience for all.  MOT testers have faced CPD for years. Not keeping up with their annual training and assessment jeopardises their ability to continue testing. Now, reflecting the MOT CPD, the IMI’s TechSafe recognises a vehicle technician’s EV and ADAS skills and qualification achievements within the IMI Professional Register. To remain on the register, within 3 years of qualifying a technician must undertake 18 hours of CPD. And the benefits of this are plenty.
