BCSP exam outlines

ASP11 is the current ASP outline

BCSP's ASP11 blueprint has governed every ASP exam since September 1, 2025. It has nine domains, from Mathematical Calculations (10%) to Legal (5%), and replaced the outline that took effect in March 2020.

What's next

BCSP says it revalidates every exam "every five years, or more often if necessary." It has not announced an ASP12 or an ASP job and task analysis panel. The Exam Development page, where panels appear first, lists only a CHST panel. If that changes, this page changes the same week.
