For each question answered correctly 10 minutes of CPD is added to your training record so if you answer all 15 that will give you 2.5 hours.

Barristers: please note that, according to BSB rules, you will have to answer at least 3 questions correctly, equivalent to 30 minutes, for the training to count towards your CPD requirements.
