Level 6 Advanced Diploma in financial advice

Our Adv DipFA® programme builds on the Level 4 Diploma in Financial Advice (DipFA®) to equip you with the expertise you need to provide complex financial advice and planning services to clients.

The programme covers four to five units that take you through to receiving your Advanced Diploma. You can either sign up to the full programme or to the individual modules.

The training covers academic material, test questions, how to apply knowledge to written exams and specific exam preparation. We focus on bringing the technical content to life and relating things to the real world, as people learn most efficiently when the training is practical and realistic.

This blended training programme brings you that step closer to achieving exams for specific licensed areas of business, such as pension transfers and long term care and later life planning.

How is the training delivered?

The time taken to complete the programme depends on the units selected – the programme can be completed in full, or you can choose to complete only the units relevant to you.

You will be expected to undertake around 10.5 hours of study per week per unit, including trainer-led online sessions.

Webinar tutorials are during normal working hours, so you may need to make arrangements with your employer to attend these sessions. All the webinars are recorded so they can be accessed in your own time.

Whilst attendance is not mandatory for every live webinar tutorial, we strongly encourage all students to attend as many of these as possible. The  tutorials are particularly important as they cover preparation for coursework and exams.
