Important points to note

 After the last assessments in 2023, there will be no opportunity to resit the examinations for the subjects after these dates.

 There will be no replacement LCCI qualifications for the withdrawn subjects.

Revised Examination Timetable 2023

A revised examination timetable for 2023 is now available on Pearson’s website.

Learners who are currently undertaking Pearson LCCI courses with Pearson-approved centres should continue with their learning. The examination series for 2023 have been streamlined into two super series, in April 2023 and September 2023, where all eleven Financial and Quantitative subjects will be available in each of these two examination periods. 

Potential Alternative Qualifications

Pearson has been reviewing its existing portfolio for available replacements for Pearson LCCI qualifications.

Our Edexcel International GCSE Accounting and Edexcel International A Level Accounting cover some of the contents of LCCI qualifications. You may wish to consider these qualifications as potential replacements. We will publish mapping on content coverage and guidance on transferring to these qualifications in the coming weeks.

We are also investigating new BTECs to replace our key LCCI qualifications. Our intention is to reach a decision by 31 December 2022 on which qualifications could be developed following customer research.

Diplomas

As a result of these qualifications being withdrawn, the Pearson LCCI Financial and Quantitative Diplomas will no longer be available.

Learners must complete the qualifications being withdrawn by the final assessment date for that qualification. Learners will then have 24 months from the final assessment date to claim their diploma.

 Financial and Quantitative Diplomas

* This Level 3 Diploma in Computerised Accounting and the Level 4 Diploma in Accounting and Finance have earlier withdrawal dates, due to the core subjects of these Diplomas having expired in December 2021 and June 2022 respectively.
