P1 Exam syllabus change

Hi, thank you for your query. The Cima syllabus changes over in November 2019 so the last exams you can take under current syllabus will be mid-/late October 2019 -exact dates depends on your country. I can confirm however that the changes for P1 will be minimal & a candidate who is well prepared under the current syllabus will still fare well under the 2019 exam system. Some tweaks and updates but core knowledge from 2015 will stay the same. Kind Regards Cath

You're very welcome!

Hi Cath, Any update on the above? Thanks

Catch, Any guidance on this? Thanks Ray

Hi Sorry for the delay - always better to start a new thread - rather than continue somebody elses question - I didn't see the update - I'm sorry Yes the changes aren't drastic. The link above takes you to the main differences. Also Open Tuition notes have been updated to the new 2019 syllabus. There is no change in marking scheme. From the top -of -my head - I can confirm that Quality costing & environmental costing have been removed from the syllabus. So has material mix & yield variances Everything else remains examinable - but there are some smaller areas on digital costing/ digital products - using linear programming in digital age etc - that have been added to various chapters - these are all in the Open Tuition notes Many Thanks Cath
