An update from Luiza Todd The dust has now settled on the news that the Chartered Insurance Institute are no longer running ‘in-house’ exam revision workshops. This still feels like such a strange decision for an examining body to make. I cannot believe that there is not still a huge appetite for R0 exam support […]
BTS have just run a RO5 workshop for one of our Wealth Management clients. This involved an action-packed two-day workshop facilitated in London. The attendees were mainly second careerists with little or no financial services experience. This workshop was full to brimming with relevant theories and practice, lots of handouts, including one page ‘crib-sheets’ for […]

BTS have just completed another R01 workshop for six Edinburgh students. All were sitting their R01 exam within a few weeks of the workshop and were concerned about retaining knowledge in subject areas that were… a tad dull! The R01 financial services, regulation and ethics exam is not getting any easier. Pass-rates country wide remain […]
BTS facilitated an RO6 workshop for attendees nationally in advance of the April 2017 sitting. Students came from a number of different companies with a range of different experiences.

The lady concerned shared how, during pre-exam discussions, she had often heard of BTS from other candidates. They gave […]

This new level 4 qualification will be called the Certificate in Pension Transfers and aims to develop the in-depth knowledge and practical skills of anyone wishing to advise on the transfer of ‘safeguarded benefits’. So, what […]
Well, a group of BTS students have finally done it! In a CII R0 exam that has countrywide pass-rates of 57.92%, by hard work and using BTS support, a group of students have achieved the unheard of – a 100% pass-rate!!! Our group of R02 students were 16 second careerists with little or no financial services background. […]
The CII have just released the pass-rates for the 2016 R0 exam sitting. As expected, they make disappointing reading, particularly considering the wide range of exam support on offer out there in the market.

If you look through the average internet search history, it may not be apparent amongst the YouTube, Social Media and News searches that we actually have access to almost all human knowledge. Virtually everything that mankind knows is searchable and clickable and that includes investment theory and financial planning. Coupled with this, we are regularly […]
