R06 Financial Planning Practice June 2023

This event will be held via video webinar.

If you have any questions please contact Susan Stamp at secretary@sussexcii.org.uk or on 07933 998426.

Led by John Trayner, a CII Approved Trainer, this intensive workshop will work through the case studies that will be examined in the July 2023 sitting.

The exam is based on two narrative case studies that will be issued approximately two weeks before the exam. Typically one is about a couple with young children and the other is concerned with a couple in their 60s who have either retired or are on the verge of doing so. You will also be given each couple’s financial objectives.

The exam tests your ability to give advice so will cover:

• what additional information you need to give advice
• what options are available that would enable the client to meet their objectives
• the advantages and disadvantages of the different options
• what you would recommend together with a justification
• an explanation of the product you have recommended
• what you would discuss at a future review

The workshop will work though the case studies as a group to identify the clients' objectives, the likely questions, how they should be answered and to revise the technical points arising from these questions.

The workshop will start at 9.00 am and end at 5.00 pm, providing a full six hours’ CPD. It costs £80 for members, (non-members £100). Please note, to benefit from the discounted rate, you will be required to provide your membership number at the time of booking.

About our speaker

John has over 40 years’ experience in insurance and financial services. Not surprisingly most of his former employers no longer exist because of mergers and takeovers. For example he joined Leeds Permanent Building Society in 1986 and at retirement was working for Lloyds Banking Group even though he’d never changed employers! The last 15 years were spent in the training department specialising in professional exams.

Not wishing to spend retirement watching daytime TV he decided to become a freelance trainer specialising in helping people to pass the CII’s Financial Services exams.
