The syllabus is designed to progressively broaden and deepen the knowledge, skills and professional values demonstrated by the student on their way through the qualification.
The specific capabilities within the detailed syllabuses and study guides are assessed at one of three intellectual or cognitive levels:
Level 1: Knowledge and comprehension
Level 2: Application and analysis
Level 3: Synthesis and evaluation
Very broadly, these intellectual levels relate to the three cognitive levels at which the Applied Knowledge,
the Applied Skills and the Strategic
Professional exams
are assessed.
