Changes to DP Revalidation Requirements 

To make sure that DP operators keep pace with the developing standards in a fast-changing industry, DPOs renewing their certificates which are expiring from 1 January 2024 will now be asked to demonstrate Continuing Professional Development (CPD) as well as experience. One of the routes is to complete an NI Accredited CPD programme, as well as completing The NI Revalidation Online Exam. To make it easier for DPO’s to complete The NI Revalidation Online Exam element of the requirements, we have added the function of booking it directly from their NI AlexisPlatform accounts. Below we have provided the following guides to help you follow the process of booking the exam, as well as how to complete your online application to revalidate your certificate.
