If you're thinking about becoming an adviser, we have four programmes to choose from, depending on the type of financial advice you want to provide and whether you are interested in full-time or part-time studies. You do not need any prior financial services experience or qualifications to apply for any of these programmes.
Our qualifications are provided by both the London Institute of Banking and Finance (LIBF) and the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII).
