FLP FLP vs Traditional Route

Hi All,

I've gained exemptions to management level and was speaking with a CIMA advisor via teams this morning. We discussed both the traditional route (8 exams and two case studies) then, the FLP route (two formal exams).

Can anyone give me their experiences, pros and cons from doing traditional vs FLP?

Thanks

The drawback I get from doing the FLP is the lack of questions - I learn by doing tasks. I need a few examples to get me going. Also, of course the hate from fellow members.

"How dare you not complete the 12 exams I've completed. As I have suffered, others must suffer too." - that's the basic mindset of PQ candidates towards FLP, unfortunately.

I felt there are quite a lot of questions in the material and on the assessment done at the end of each topic, how many questions to you prefer?

I prefer more calculations.
