How many CPD hours are required over five years?

• A. At least 60 hours.
• B. At least 70 hours.
• C. At least 50 hours.
• D. No minimum requirement.

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is understanding the regulatory CPD requirement for dental care professionals over a five-year cycle. The general rule is that you must complete at least 50 hours of CPD in five years to maintain registration. This total can include a mix of verifiable (structured) learning and other CPD activities, but the overall minimum is 50 hours. That’s why 50 hours is the correct answer. You might plan around roughly 10 hours a year to stay on track. Options proposing more than 50 hours aren’t the stated minimum, and saying there’s no minimum wouldn’t reflect the regulatory standard.
