OVERLAP ARRANGEMENTS

This syllabus is valid from 1 January 2020. The 2016–2019 syllabus will remain valid until 31 December 2020, giving a one year overlap. During this time, candidates may present pieces and technical work from the 2016–2019 or the 2020–2023 syllabus, but not both.

Candidates should indicate which syllabus they are presenting on the appointment form handed to the examiner at the start of the exam.
