We have taken the decision to delay the introduction of the new exam system until it is ready to support our exams and our candidates.
This means that we will deliver all IFoA exams on our current platform in their traditional format in April 2024. This includes CB1 and CB2, which were due to launch in their objective based assessment (OBA) format in April.
Our April 2024 exam dates remain the same and we no longer need to hold contingency dates for any exams.
