Strategic Level Entry (1yr)

Attend classes with IBTC before each exam sitting to increase your chances of passing on the FLP programme. The FLP portal contains all the learning content for your E, P and F-subjects and your case study exams. Study online and complete all the activities to gain access to the case study exam. Your subscription allows you access to the platform and to the exams. The programme is entirely self-directed, so you can complete as many or as few assessments as you can manage during your subscription period. 

Each level of the CIMA FLP programme contains a Case Study Examination, which integrates the knowledge, skills and techniques from across the three pillars into one synoptic capstone examination.

At the Strategic level, the role simulated is that of the senior finance manager. The Case Study Examination provides a simulated context which allows learners to demonstrate that they have acquired the required knowledge, skills, techniques and mindset for that role.

On the FLP programme, you are required to complete all the learning and the competencies, and complete all the continuous assessment activities to gain access to the Case Study exam. 

Each case study exam is a three hour long computer based exam. There are four windows a year when you can sit your case study exams (February, May, August and November). Within each window, exams will be available for three days from Wednesday to Friday. Exams can be sat at a Pearson Vue exam centre or at home. Information about a fictitious company is released 6 weeks prior to the exam, which forms the basis of your Case Study exam and is called the 'pre-seen material'. 

CIMA's FLP programme is a 3rd party programme delivered by CIMA, not IBTC. As such, the FLP programme does not fall under the IBTC Pass Assured Promise. 

However, if you have purchased FLP Premium, then the Virtual Classes you have purchased as part of your FLP package do fall under our Pass Assured Promise Policy. 

Make sure you understand all the steps in our 'success recipe' and what you are eligible to receive before you commence your studies. This way you'll know what you need to do to qualify for our Pass Assured Promise.

Requirements differ between courses and study methods. In the event of conflicting information about Pass Assured Promise, our Ts & Cs will prevail.
