For certification purposes, all LE candidates (except for candidates of the Foundation Programme Examination (FPE) mentioned below) have 3 years to complete their preset combination of examination papers. The 3-year period will commence from the date of the first LE paper that the candidate passes.
If candidates have only partially completed the FPE and their 12-month completion period is still valid when the LE rolls out, they can convert their passed FPE papers into certain papers under the LE. Please
