New exam system

16 May 2023

We have taken the decision to delay the introduction of the new exam system while we continue to thoroughly test that it is ready to support our exams and our candidates.

Early testing has been completed and improvements identified. For this reason, we are delaying the launch to April 2024 to ensure these improvements can be implemented and tested before we go live.

We will continue to develop the system until we are confident of delivering a high standard online exam experience, that maintains our exams’ integrity. 

Arrangements for September 2023 exams

This means that we will deliver all IFoA exams on our current platform in their traditional format in September 2023. This includes the delivery of our CB1 and CB2 exams in their current format rather than in Objective Based assessment (OBA) format.

Our September 2023 exam dates remain the same. However, we no longer need to hold contingency dates for any exams.
