Study time varies from person to person. An experienced advisor may require around 120 hours of study time. A less experienced person may require up to 200 hours. The syllabus covers a variety of topics including trust and trustees, investment taxation and portfolio performance. Our study packages are designed to suit your learning style and availability. We offer a range of classroom courses or a virtual learning course.
Whichever you choose, you will have to study independently in order to pass. All our PCIAM 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.
Flexible support to help you pass the exam quickly.
