Financial advisers, act now before its to late!
The Retail Distribution Review (RDR) has proposed the introduction of new minimum qualification requirements for financial advisers: the need for an Ofqual (Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator) accredited Level 4 qualification.
It is proposed that current practising advisers must obtain a level 4 qualification, such as the CII's Diploma in Financial Planning, by the end of 2012 (new entrant advisers will be under a requirement from 2010).
Before making your decision you need to consider which route is most suitable for each individual’s personal situation. CII Diploma in Financial Planning OR IFS Diploma for Financial Advisers which one is the right path? See our guide!
Details of the FSA’s qualifications requirements have yet to be finalised, but the indications are that anyone holding the Diploma in Financial Planning will meet the new required standard. And should any additional knowledge requirements be identified in the interim, Diploma holders will be able to address these through undertaking continuous professional development (as opposed to other examinations).
The Diploma in Financial Planning develops advanced technical knowledge and understanding across a broad range of key advisory areas:
- J01 personal taxation
- J02 trusts
- J03 business planning
- J04 pension funding
- J05 pension income
- J06 investment
- J07 supervision in a regulated environment.
- J08 financial planning practice (first exam sitting July 09)
The format of the individual units reflects the needs of today’s market for current, targeted technical learning. Modular in structure, with no compulsory units, the Diploma allows you to develop a learning programme that reflects your job role and career requirements.
Completion of the Diploma will enhance your technical knowledge, support regulatory compliance, help reduce risk and improve your career prospects. It provides an objective measurement of your knowledge and understanding and will enhance your clients’ confidence in your service.
