Failure to complete the DVSA required training in a given year will put the tester at risk of being suspended from testing by the DVSA.

The DVSA have the right to withdraw any MOT tester’s licence to test if they discover a tester has not completed and recorded a minimum of 3 hours of training each year.

DVSA Training (or annual training) covers the topics set out by the DVSA each year which will account for the majority of the exam that year. This type of training can be done at any time throughout the curriculum year either spread out or in one 3 hour sitting.

CPD (or Continual Professional Development) covers a much broader range of training and covers anything an MOT Tester may be exposed to in their career. This is a requirement from the DVSA that across the curriculum year, 3 hours is completed on an ongoing basis. MOT Juice offers the CPD requirement in 15 minute modules each month covering topics not included in the Curriculum Training but are included in the exam.

Every Nominated Tester is required to do both of the above to fulfil the DVSA requirements.

You and the business you work for can be suspended from MOT testing if you do not record your training on the MOT Testing Service.

This means if you have not recorded any, or have not logged all 3 hours of annual training on your MTS profile, this will affect your ability to test following the annual training deadline of 31st March.
