On average, you'll be studying for between around 70 - 100 hours for each paper (or 180 hours for Private Client Advice). You'll be required to grasp a variety of topics including UK regulations, asset classes and portfolio performance. Our study packages are designed to suit your learning style and availability. We offer classroom courses or a virtual learning course.
Whichever you choose, you will have to study independently in order to pass. All our Investment Advice Diploma training includes access to our online portal as part of the package. The portal is your one-stop resource centre providing study tools and question banks, plus it contains our diagnostic performance analysis tools to help keep you on track and alert you to your areas of weakness. We'll let you know where you need to focus your attention, so you can maximise your study time concentrating on what matters.

*For 2012 we have introduced an extra optional day to our courses to ensure you have sufficient opportunity to practise exam questions and discuss concerns with a tutor. The optional fourth day is scheduled one week after the three day course and focuses on exam practice and a mock exam.
