United Kingdom · QualificationWhat a CII enrolment includes
For R01 the default is Enrolment plus: 12 months of the study text on RevisionMate, with the Key Facts Booklet, Audio Revision, Knowledge Checker and E-learn, plus an exam voucher valid for 18 months. Enrolment only gives you the study text and the exam. Assessment only is the exam entry with no study material.
RevisionMate courses have a discussion forum, quiz questions and the exam guide, which for multiple-choice units contains a specimen exam paper.

Past papers and practice questions from the CII
The CII doesn’t publish past papers for its multiple-choice exams, because the questions stay in use. Its exam guides, on each unit page, are built to the same specification as the live exams. The Knowledge Checker revision aid has 150 to 300 questions on the study text.
For written exams such as R06, the CII posts the question papers and test specifications when results come out, and keeps them up for two more sittings.
Do you need CII diploma courses on top?
Start with what’s missing. If you learn best from video, look at Revision Extra. If you want a tutor for one unit, book that unit’s revision course. If you want structure across all six, the training programme is the CII’s fullest option.
For R06, the CII sells a video guide built on the case studies for each sitting, a few weeks before the exam. Third-party study guides are written by those companies, not the CII, so check which syllabus year they follow.
