The ICAN May diet is one of the two annual sittings — and for most candidates, it's the one where the biggest pass-rate swings happen. Coaching that starts early and ends with full mocks in exam conditions is the single biggest predictor of a first-sitting pass.
PPT's May diet programme is built around that timing. Enrolment opens 14–16 weeks before the sitting, tuition runs continuously through the syllabus, and the final three weeks are pure revision and mocks.

Why the May diet matters
The May diet gives you a fresh professional milestone before the second half of the year and — for candidates on staged progression — the shortest path to sitting the next level in November. Missing it costs you six months.
