Plan around the application deadline
The January 2027 diet has an application window in October and November 2026. Do not wait until the exam year to check your booking.
- Check the exam and application dates before arranging study leave or travel.
- Confirm eligibility and any documentation required for your application.
- Review centre-specific arrangements and any reasonable-adjustment deadlines on the official page.
- Keep your exam booking confirmation separate from your course enrolment records.
Build a preparation timetable for your diet
Plan time for topic learning, theory review and question practice, followed by mixed questions, revision and mocks. Match the workload to your rota and starting knowledge; the application deadline is not a suggested date to begin studying.
Our Part 1 preparation guide gives an adaptable routine. If you prefer a taught pathway, the Part 1 course page shows current batches, included resources and how to apply. You can also request a free trial before deciding.
