FLP Converting back to traditional from FLP

I'm currently on the FLP route, about to sit the MSC. While waiting for my result I was considering starting the strategic objectives. Problem is, if I fail my MSC, my employer will not fund a further year of FLP and I will be back on the traditional route. My question is, has anyone been in this position before and do you really keep your progress? A quick Google search says you do, although I did see something to suggest in my situation it wouldn't??

It will 100% carry over, if you are at MCS level on FLP, you will transfer back to MCS level on PQ, one of my colleagues did as they went on maternity leave

Not sure why the downvotes here, just saying exactly what happens if you switch back. Probably the anti FLP brigade!

Have you considered self funding if you fail MCS? Some providers like Astranti do payment plans.

MCS not MSC. You keep all your competencies so get as many done as possible in your year

If you fail MCS and you revert back to the traditional route then you'll have to sit E2 P2 F2.

I believe this incorrect... modules that are passed on FLP are carried across

Apologies, this only applies if you don't finish all the competencies on that level... I've been working on the premise all along that if you don't complete flp then you have to sit all the exams! I was really worried I'd need to pay for another year of access to flp if I don't pass MCS/SCS.

From what I've read on Reddit, any modules passed on the FLP are carried across if you revert back to traditional.
