Due to finish professional level in June 26, was planning on sitting only CR in November 26 to gain an exemption from the new technical case study.

But I have had conflicting advise from ICAEW and BPP (tuition provider). ICAEW said it should be fine as the SBM top up should be available in Q1 2027. However, BPP have "strongly advised" I sit both CR and SBM in Nov 26 as they don't know when the top up course will be available.

Anyone have any advice or additional information as I obviously don't want to end up sitting an additional exam.
