Why should you complete continuing professional development (CPD)?
- A You need to do it to keep your ADI badge
- B It helps to keep your skills up-to-date
- C You need to show proof during your standards check
- D It increases your students' pass rates
Why this is the answer
Although CPD is voluntary there are definitely advantages to undertaking it. The technology in cars changes and instructional techniques are updated. Keeping informed of these changes is beneficial for both you and your students.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- You need to do it to keep your ADI badge — Your badge does not depend on it, which is part of why it is a professional choice.
- C
- You need to show proof during your standards check — Evidence may be discussed at a check, and that is a by-product.
- D
- It increases your students' pass rates — Pass rates may improve, and the reason is to stay current.

Where this question comes from
The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites. Everything else on this page is written by Theory Hub: the explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, the topic guide and the revision notes.
