Can I pass CIRE by learning from CSC textbooks?
Hi everyone,
I have purchased CSC in the middle of 2025 without knowing about the upcoming change. As of now, I did not take any exams on CSC and did not purchase CPH before 2025 so my path should be going with CIRE.
However, I do not want to overpay again and purchase another prep courses for CIRE as I already paid around 1600 for CSC which also included text books. I do know the content provided in the CSC and would feel comfortable if I were to write the exam on it. With that on mind, can I just write CIRE exam, paying just $400 and using CSC textbooks to prepare for it or would I need to purchase a separate course on it from third party providers? Or does this $400 purchase includes some study materials that I could use to prepare for the exam?
Honestly, I am very confused with this and don't want to spend a lot again; I have my degree in finance, working in the industry for around a year and have some knowledge on topics that can come up on the exam.
