It is a Level 4 professional qualification focused on documentary-credit practice.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>Who awards the CDCS qualification?<\/summary><div><p>The LIBF Level 4 Certificate for Documentary Credit Specialists is delivered under the LIBF professional-education brand. Walbrook Institute London Limited is the awarding body named in the current specification. EduDelphi independently provides additional preparation and candidate support.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>What are FODC and MGDC?<\/summary><div><p>FODC is Foundations of Documentary Credits, the first mandatory unit. MGDC is Management of Documentary Credits, the second mandatory unit with multiple-choice questions and document-checking simulations.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>What is the current CDCS exam format?<\/summary><div><p>FODC is currently a 90-minute assessment containing 50 MCQs. MGDC is a 105-minute assessment containing 20 MCQs and three synoptic document-checking simulations.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>What is the CDCS pass mark?<\/summary><div><p>The current qualification specification requires 70% in each unit.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>Can I earn a Distinction in CDCS?<\/summary><div><p>Yes. Under the current specification, you must first pass each unit with at least 70%. The current combined grade boundary is Pass at 70\u201394 marks and Distinction at 95\u2013100, subject to the assessment board&#8217;s standards.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>When do CDCS assessment results arrive?<\/summary><div><p>LIBF currently advertises same-day results for its online CDCS assessments. Always follow the result information and any qualification-specific instructions attached to your own registration.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>Can I take CDCS assessments online from Australia?<\/summary><div><p>Yes. The current official structure uses Brightspace with remote invigilation. Candidates should confirm current equipment, identity and testing-space requirements before attempting an assessment.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>Are there formal CDCS entry requirements?<\/summary><div><p>The current specification states no formal entry requirement, although candidates must be able to study in English at Level 4. The qualification was primarily designed for practitioners with approximately three years of documentary-credit experience.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>How long should I study for CDCS?<\/summary><div><p>EduDelphi normally recommends around 8\u201312 weeks for each unit. Experienced practitioners may progress faster, while candidates developing document-checking capability may need longer.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>Does the course cover UCP 600 and ISBP?<\/summary><div><p>Yes. The preparation covers UCP 600 and current documentary-examination practice, alongside relevant areas such as Incoterms 2020, URR 725, eUCP and standby-credit considerations.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n        <\/div>\n        <div>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>Are official CDCS fees included in EduDelphi tuition?<\/summary><div><p>No. Official qualification registration and assessment charges are paid separately to the official qualification provider. EduDelphi tuition covers the live preparation package confirmed in your written quotation.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>How much does EduDelphi CDCS training cost?<\/summary><div><p>Tuition is enquiry-led and quoted in AUD. Your written quotation confirms GST treatment, delivery mode and all included learning support before enrolment.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>Are recordings and LMS resources included?<\/summary><div><p>Yes. The preparation includes recordings and structured LMS resources such as slides, books, study guides, notes and revision materials.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>Does the course include document-checking practice?<\/summary><div><p>Yes. Candidates complete repeated document-review and discrepancy-identification exercises designed to build the application skills required for MGDC.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>Are mock assessments included?<\/summary><div><p>Yes. The course includes multiple FODC and MGDC mock assessments, answer review and weaker-area revision support.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>What happens if I do not pass a unit?<\/summary><div><p>The July 2026 specification currently restricts candidates to three attempts in a week for an unsuccessful unit and ten attempts overall within the 12-month registration period. LIBF currently publishes a \u00a3175 resit fee per unit, or \u00a3350 if both units need to be resat. Check the latest rules and fees before booking.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>What equipment do I need for the remote CDCS assessment?<\/summary><div><p>The current route uses Brightspace with remote invigilation. Before starting, candidates need to complete a 360-degree scan of the testing area, so the laptop or webcam must be movable and the equipment and environment must meet the current official requirements.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>Can previous study exempt me from a CDCS unit?<\/summary><div><p>LIBF recognises prior learning and notes that qualifying prior study or experience may potentially exempt a candidate from a unit. Any exemption is subject entirely to the official RPL application and assessment process; EduDelphi cannot award exemptions.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>Does the CDCS designation expire?<\/summary><div><p>The designation currently remains valid for three years. Holders then need to meet the current recertification requirements or retake the assessments.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>How does CDCS recertification work?<\/summary><div><p>The current specification requires 36 CPD learning hours or PDUs over the three-year period for recertification, subject to the official provider&#8217;s current rules.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n          <details class=\"ed-faq-item\"><summary>Can organisations arrange private CDCS training?<\/summary><div><p>Yes. Banks, corporate treasury teams, trade-operations teams and other organisations can request private online, classroom, onsite or blended preparation.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n        <\/div>\n
