  • if you renewed your licence for three (3) years back in 2007, the relevant 12 months under the new CPD system was from when you would have first renewed your licence in 2008 if you had only renewed it for one year in 2007 (eg: if your licence was renewed on 8 November 2007 for 3 years – you would be under the new CPD system starting from 8 November 2008). Contact the OFT for any clarification on PH: 13 32 20
