STEP Financial Services Certificate Course Day 1: Module 1: Residence and Domicile; Module 2: Intestacy;
STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners) Financial Services Certificate Course, April to October 2024.
The Personal Finance Society Hants & Dorset, Surrey and Thames Valley Regional Committees in association with the Insurance Institutes of Bournemouth, Guildford, Reading and Southampton are proposing a FACE to FACE 10 day course over 6 months who are studying for and taking the STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners) Financial Services Certificate Exam in November 2024.
This will primarily be a FACE to FACE event with an online dial in facility. The venue is to be confirmed. All sessions are recorded and sent to the delegates. A full LMS (learning management learning facility) with course syllabus and notes is made available to all delegates.
This exam sits outside of the CII exam qualification framework. It is the practical application of trust and taxation knowledge you will gain from the course study. The tutor Dean Scott took the exam in November 2024, as well as hosting our first STEP FS Certificate training course, passed with a distinction. Of the 9 delegates who took the exam after enrolling on our course, 8 passed (many with distinction or merit) and one narrow fail. The pass mark is 50%.
The cost of the course's 10 day training will be £650. If you wish to pay in instalments please contact us directly.
Each day will commence at 1000 and finish by 1600, with breaks timetabled for lunch etc throughout the day. Lunch and refreshments will be provided throughout the day.
