Does anyone know if/when there will be study books available for the new syllabus?

Will there be an updated reading list, based on the new syllabus?

Cheers,

James

Waiting for official info release, too

I guess the CBA level books can be used until the new CBA syllabus release (maybe in 2011).

The 2009 books are probably not applicable for the 2010 Profession Qualification exam.

Is there any official news about this?

Some information

It would appear that the study books etc for the new syllabus are available from the 01/07/2009. I never got a response from the publishers, but I did manage to find them on the Tesco website, which confirms this date.

Tesco?

They are selling CIMA study books in Tesco?

Tesco?

Not in the store, but through their website.

I'll have to have a look then, could always use more Tesco points. Anyone think it a bit annoying that you have to type in a subject every time you reply to a post?

Subject lines in replies to discussion posts

Hi Javaid,

When we were designing the site, this was something that I found (in my experience) to be unusual too. It also makes the threads in each discussion slightly more visually fragmented.

But the plus side is that having a subject for each reply means that there is a unique weblink (or "URL") for every single reply in our discussion boards. Without the subject, we couldn't have unique weblinks.

For example, here's the link URL for your individual reply: http://community.cimaglobal.com/discussions/studying-cima/new-syllabus-s...

When threads grow very long and range widely around a topic, or if you want to point someone to a particular comment you made here via email or on another website, then the unique weblink is extremely useful as a signpost and a reference.

The site will be open to the public soon, so being able to point to individual posts on CIMAsphere from anywhere on the internet will also be useful.

Thanks for your feedback. We're keen to get people's questions and feedback on our Using CIMAsphere discussion board so do post there if there's anything else abut the site you want to say.

Regards, Deirdre

Ok, good answer. I think they do something similar on IMDB and you get an email with a link that you click and you get taken straight to the reply to a post that you have made. They have this thing in place where the subject line is automatically the same as the top of the thread whenever you reply to someone- but you can change it if you want. Maybe you could try that.

New Syllabus - Study Materials

I lately received a response from CimaPublishing that the 2010 Syllabus study materials should be out and available for sale from July 2009. Other publishers like BPP, Kaplan etc should also have the 2010 Syllabus study materials out and available for sale by July 2009. However, I see no point in buying any new 2010 Syllabus study materials prematurely since there is still the November 2009 sitting under the current 2005 syllabus.

Hi,

There are several off-topic replies on this thread. If you have a point or question that is off-topic, please start a new thread.

As the thread is now a jumble of different things, we are closing it. It is a bad experience for users when they click into one thing and discover half the content isn't about what they thought it was.
