CeMAP Cost: Registration Fees, the Resit Fee and Every Optional Extra

CeMAP costs £735 if you register for all three modules together, or £810 if you register for them one at a time: £330 for CeMAP 1, £320 for CeMAP 2 and £160 for CeMAP 3. Those are LIBF’s registration fees as printed on its qualification page on 14 October 2026. They include the online study materials and the first exam for each unit. The one cost most candidates do not plan for is the resit fee: £120 per unit, each time. Everything else on the page is optional. ProSyllabus is an independent study site. It is not affiliated with LIBF or Walbrook Institute London, and nothing here is official. Every rule and fee below is quoted or summarised from their own pages and specifications, read on 14 October 2026. All prices are in pounds sterling, as LIBF prints them.

LIBF CeMAP qualification page, “Fees”, read 14 October 2026. £147 is £735 divided by five units.

A note on names. The CeMAP pages now sit on walbrook.ac.uk (libf.ac.uk addresses redirect there), the specifications carry the copyright of Walbrook Institute London Limited, and Ofqual’s register lists the awarding organisation as The London Institute of Banking & Finance. The pages themselves still say LIBF, so this guide does too.

The £75 question. Registering for everything at once saves £75 and gives one period of 18 months for all five exams. Registering module by module costs £75 more in total and gives each module its own 12 months, starting when you register for it. Which suits you depends on how sure you are of finishing: the saving is real only if all five units are passed inside the 18 months. That comparison is ours; the two fees and the two periods are LIBF’s.

Not included: a printed textbook (“You can also buy a hard copy of the text through Amazon”, with no price on LIBF’s page), any resit, and any of the optional study aids below.

Under “Exam resit fees” the page says “£120 per unit”. That is the whole of LIBF’s statement on the fee page, and it is the same £120 on the FSRE page. The fee is per unit, not per module, so failing one CeMAP 1 unit costs £120 and failing both costs £240. The specification limits how often you can try: “three exam attempts in a week and … ten exam attempts overall in any 12-month period subject to a resit fee.” Set against the registration fees, one resit is 36% of the CeMAP 1 fee and 16% of the full fee (our division).

Buying two things twice. The Revision Tool for one module costs more than the extra specimen exams for it (£90 against £40 for Module 1) but includes them, so the combination to avoid is paying for both. All three modules of the Revision Tool at £180 is £30 less than buying its two parts separately at £90 and £120 (our subtraction).

Many candidates pay a training company on top of LIBF’s fee. LIBF’s page is plain that this is a choice: “Using a learning support provider is entirely up to you – it is not a requirement of your studies”, and “you will still need to register and complete CeMAP through us, as the qualification awarding body.” It keeps a list of Accredited Learning Support Providers and trusted partners, and warns that only those providers “are authorised to state they are accredited by us”. We print no course prices here: none of them is LIBF’s, they change often, and a course fee may or may not include LIBF’s registration fee. If you compare courses, LIBF’s advice is to check that the provider “states you will also need to register with us and pay the appropriate fee”.

ProSyllabus has its own CeMAP Module 1 mock exam: 80 original questions in the current shape of the two FSRE unit exams, with 3 of them free to answer (1 in unit 1 and 2 in unit 2) and the reason for every answer shown. You will find it on the full web version of this page and on the mock exam’s own page. It is our own work: it is not written or endorsed by LIBF or Walbrook Institute London and contains no LIBF specimen or exam question.
