What does the ICAG syllabus require before embarking on the next programme of study?
All Knowledge examinations must be passed or credited before the Application programme of study, and all Application examinations before the Professional programme of study.
Applies to: ICAG students considering progression between the Knowledge, Application and Professional programmes of study.
What the authority says
Detailed explanation
The syllabus states the programme-of-study sequence. This is distinct from a sitting notice that may set limited, sitting-specific permissions to write papers across levels.
What this means for students
Practical implication
Use this rule for the programme-of-study sequence; use the applicable current examination notice to determine whether papers may be written across levels in a particular sitting.
