Nexis CPD Knowledge Bank — Health & Safety guides and explainers.
What autism awareness really means: autism as a lifelong neurodevelopmental difference, how common it is, whether it is a disability, and why the Health and Care Act 2022 and the Oliver McGowan training make staff training a legal duty in CQC-registered care.
Professional lorry, bus and coach drivers need 35 hours of DVSA-approved Driver CPC training every 5 years – the rules, penalties, exemptions, and why online awareness courses don’t count towards it.
Registered veterinary nurses must complete 15 hours of CPD every calendar year. What counts, how the RCVS audits it, and why ‘veterinary nurse’ isn’t a protected title.
UK law never names a specific health and safety course. It requires employers to provide adequate training at defined trigger points, free of charge and during working hours. Here is what that means.
No licence or qualification is needed to work as a hairdresser in England. What the law does require: COSHH training, glove use against dermatitis, and local authority registration for tattooing, piercing and electrolysis.
Gas businesses and self-employed engineers must be Gas Safe registered under regulation 3 of the Gas Safety Regulations 1998, with competence reassessed every five years per category. Landlord checks, asbestos duties and the 2025-26 rise in prosecutions.
The GMC sets no CPD minimum and the old 50-credit rule is gone. What revalidation actually requires: annual appraisal, six types of supporting information, patient and colleague feedback, and a five-yearly recommendation.
There is no statutory licence to be an electrician in England. What the law actually requires – competence under EAWR regulation 16, Part P certification, BS 7671 A4:2026 – and the awareness training every electrician needs.
No law names a qualification for CQC registered managers – regulation 7 requires fitness, and Level 5 strengthens an application. What regulation 18 requires for staff training, and the 2025-26 changes managers must know.
RICS members need 20 hours of CPD a year, at least 10 structured, recorded by 31 January. From 2026, three mandatory topics every three years. Plus the asbestos and AML training duties surveyors face.
