Study Tips to Beat the Deadline

Our tutors have helped thousands of learners pass CeMAP — here are their top strategies for success:

  1. Plan your revision early. Work backwards from your chosen exam date and schedule study time for each topic.

  2. Use specimen papers as soon as possible. Don’t wait until the end — practise regularly to build familiarity with LIBF’s exam style.

  3. Simulate exam conditions. Sit mock exams under timed conditions to build confidence.

  4. Study little and often. Short, regular sessions are more effective than last-minute cramming.

  5. Prioritise smartly. If you have already started you studies and currently in middle of CeMAP 1 you may decided to prioritise the CeMAP 1 first, as this module will be changing to Level 4 with a new case study exam format under the new syllabus. Then look at switching for the CeMAP 2 & 3 that will have the less impact on your studies.

Advice: 

Everyone’s situation is different — we encourage learners to choose the path that works best for their goals and timeframe. Futuretrend is here to help you decide on the right strategy, please get in contact and our Learning and Development team will be happy to support you.

Options for New Learners Starting Now

If you’re just beginning your CeMAP studies, you have two main paths:

  • Option A: Start with CeMAP 1 (UKFR) under the current syllabus. You’ll benefit from Level 3 content and still have until July 2026 to complete it, before moving on to CeMAP 2 and 3 under the new syllabus.

  • Option B: Focus on completing CeMAP 2 and 3 under the current syllabus before January 2026, then take CeMAP 1 (UKFR) before July 2026.

 

👉 Both routes are valid. The right choice depends on your current progress, available study time, and career goals. Our tutors can provide personalised advice to help you decide.

In this blog, we’ll break down:

  • The key deadlines every current learner must know
  • Whether it’s better to finish now or switch later
  • Study strategies to help you stay on track
  • How to get the right support during the transition

👉 By the end, you’ll know exactly how to plan your next steps with confidence.

Key Exam Deadlines You Must Know

If you’re already studying CeMAP, you have three options:

  1. Complete your exams under the current syllabus:

    • CeMAP 2 & 3 must be finished by 12 January 2026.

    • CeMAP 1 (UKFR) is available until 16 July 2026.

  2. Transfer to the new syllabus early (from 30 September 2025).

  3. Do nothing and be transferred automatically on 13 January 2026.

📌 Tip: If you want to finish under the current format, book your exams early — Pearson VUE slots will be in high demand leading up to the deadlines.

Should You Complete Now or Switch to the New Syllabus?

Completing Now – The Benefits

  • Familiar study materials and exam style.
  • Certainty — you know what’s on the test.
  • If you’ve already invested time and effort, it’s quicker to finish.

Switching to the New Syllabus – The Benefits

  • Smaller, unit-based exams (less overwhelming than full modules).
  • Updated learning resources (case studies, videos, interactive tools).
  • FSRE replaces UKFR, giving credits towards DipFA if you want to progress further.

Our Recommendation

  • If you’re already part-way through, it often makes sense to complete now.

  • If you’re just starting, you may prefer to wait for the new structure.

 

👉 Either way, you won’t lose progress — exemptions and credits carry over between full syllabuses modules.

Study Strategies to Stay on Track

If you’ve decided to finish under the current syllabus, here’s how to maximise your chances of passing before the deadlines:

  • Plan backwards from the exam date. Create a revision timetable that ensures all topics are covered in time.

  • Use mock exams. Practise under exam conditions to boost confidence.

  • Focus on weak areas first. Allocate more study time to the topics you find challenging.

  • Study little and often. Short, focused sessions are proven to be more effective than long cramming.

  • Stay updated. Keep an eye on LIBF announcements and resources.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I don’t finish my CeMAP exams by the deadline?

If you don’t complete CeMAP 2 or CeMAP 3 by 12 January 2026, or CeMAP 1 (UKFR) by 16 July 2026, LIBF will automatically transfer you to the new syllabus. Any modules you’ve already passed will carry over as exemptions.

Can I switch to the new CeMAP syllabus before January 2026?

Yes. From 30 September 2025, current learners can request to transfer to the new syllabus. Exams under the new structure will be available from 10 November 2025 through Brightspace.

Is the new CeMAP syllabus harder than the current one?

Not necessarily. The new syllabus introduces smaller unit-based exams, which many learners find easier to manage than full-module exams.

Does passing CeMAP 1 (UKFR) still count after the changes?

Yes. If you complete CeMAP 1 (UKFR) before 16 July 2026, your pass will be recognised and mapped into the new structure. After this date, CeMAP 1 will be withdrawn and replaced with FSRE.

Will my existing CeMAP study materials still be valid?

Yes — study materials remain valid for exams sat under the current syllabus before the final deadlines. After this, you’ll need updated materials for the new FSRE and Mortgage modules.

Conclusion

The CeMAP syllabus changes in 2025 don’t have to disrupt your studies — but you do need to act strategically.

If you’re close to completing, focus on finishing under the current syllabus before the deadlines. If you’re only just beginning, consider waiting for the new structure with its refreshed content and flexible exams.
