It is proposed that existing financial advisors will be required to achieve the level 4 diploma in financial planning qualification by the end of 2012. New financial advisers will fall under this requirement by the end of 2010.

This R01 Financial Services, regulation and Ethics revision workshop is designed to support you with the J01 qualification and given the timescales, it is essential that you do not delay achieving this approved J01 level 4 qualification.

The R01 Financial Services, regulation and Ethics revision workshop is part of the diploma in financial planning qualification and designed to build on the study manual to provide additional support, exam techniques and a greater understanding to help you pass your J01 exam.

We achieve this through group and individual activities involving tax calculations, short answer case studies and questions and J01 mock exams, with all activities on the R01 workshop being debriefed by the trainer to aid learning. Our aim is that everything we cover on the R01 workshop will leave you understanding and be ready to take this unit exam of your diploma in financial planning.

The R01 diploma in financial planning revision workshops are run by professional financial planning trainers who understand the importance of your job and the challenges and difficulties you can face with the continued requirements to demonstrate your professionalism.
