Candidates who have completed 3 modules of the original Master

As a candidate who has already completed 3 modules of the current syllabus, you should continue with the version of the original Master program and complete the remaining two modules. 

• The current syllabus will remain valid for the next 3 years (2026, 2027 and 2028), allowing you time to complete the remaining modules.
• After this time, the current syllabus will be retired.

This ensures you can build on the work you’ve already done and continue your path to Master certification.

Please note that the value of the CIBD Master qualification remains unchanged. We are only making changes to the content of the syllabus and how it is examined.
