Back in 2016, the DVSA introduced new rules around annual training which replaced the 5-year refresher course. It is now the MOT Testers’ responsibility to source and keep records of their own training every year between 1st April and 31st March.
Complete at least 3 hours of annual training each year (covering specific topics set by the DVSA);
Study/train on the significance and correct functioning of new features that are introduced on vehicle types that they are likely to be asked to test;
Keep a record of completed training (must be shown to a VE on a site visit);
Log their annual training session(s) on your MTS profile.
Your MOT testing status is at risk if you do not complete a minimum of 3 hours of annual DVSA training before March 31st 2025.
