“Update” contains the new materials in IFRS 9 assuming that you already know the basics of financial instruments. Here, you start learning at the higher level.
If you know IFRS well and you just need update, then select “Update”. If you would like to learn the topic from the beginning, then select “Financial Instruments” comprehensive module.
The same applies to Revenue recognition, Business combinations and Leases, too.
