Notice of withdrawal of certain LCCI qualifications
Following a recent review of the LCCI Professional portfolio, and a decreased demand from centres globally for these subjects, Pearson has taken the difficult decision to withdraw the LCCI Marketing and Business suites, plus two of the LCCI Level 4 qualifications in the Financial and Quantitative suite.
As a result of this decision, the current qualifications listed below will be withdrawn as per the dates listed in the table.

- There will be no replacement LCCI qualifications for the withdrawn subjects.
- The remainder of the qualifications in the LCCI Financial and Quantitative suite will remain.
- The remainder of the Diplomas in the LCCI Financial and Quantitative suite will remain.
Diplomas
As a result of these qualifications being withdrawn, all LCCI Marketing and Business Diplomas and the LCCI Level 4 Diploma in the Financial and Quantitative suite will no longer be available. Please see the LCCI Information Manual for details of the diplomas.
Learners must complete the qualifications being withdrawn by the final assessment date for that qualification. They will have 24 months from the final assessment date to claim their diploma.
We understand this will impact centres and learners in different ways. Pearson is committed to supporting centres in delivering qualifications until their final examination date. We will be updating the LCCI qualifications pages on our website to ensure our customers have access to the latest information.
The LCCI Financial and Quantitative suite of qualifications continues to be available to centres and learners globally, and we hope more will take up these subjects to enable the continued delivery of LCCI qualifications.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your Pearson regional representative or, submit a query via our Support Portal.
