In January, the CAS Executive Council approved the drafts of the syllabi for new Exams 5-9 as well as the topics to be covered by Modules 1 and 2 that will be implemented in 2011. The syllabi and module topics were posted in the “Admissions/Exams” section of the CAS Web Site. In the new education structure, there will be no significant changes to the VEE requirements and preliminary exams (Exams 1-4).

The syllabus drafts were released so that candidates and educators will have a sense of the learning objectives and readings. The Syllabus Committee will continue work on the syllabi to identify readings currently marked as “TBA.” In addition, clarified learning objectives and changes to specific readings may be incorporated into the final edition of the 2011 Syllabus of Basic Education that will be released in early November 2010.
