  • "I passed R02 - No doubt thanks to your fantastic workbook which helped no end!  With the extra work that I did going through your workbook, this helped a great deal with feeling confident which in this exam particularly was useful given that the technique and timing is as important as the knowledge and skill in ensuring that you get through the questions in a timely manner. One could so easily become distracted or frustrated trying to work out/remember one particular formula to the deficit of the other questions but your workbook enabled me to feel glad that there were so many calculations in the exam whereby before I actually feared them."
    David GunnDavid GunnAdviser, Nottingham
  • "I have found the most important resource for any of the diploma papers have been mock questions. The more the merrier! The Brand mock papers I used ... are an excellent indication of the standard of questions from the actual exam and as such a valuable source of revision aid."
    Gavin DuffyGavin DuffyFinancial Adviser, Weston-super-mare
  • I passed R04! - your question sets have been an invaluable part of my preparation.
    RobRobLloyds Banking Group
  • "There is no doubt that without Brand Financial Training our road towards passing these exams would have been a lot steeper!! There is no doubt that R02 caused the most pain but without your comprehensive notes on formulas etc it would have been even more painful simply because the book was so bland."
    Mark CourageMark CourageDirector and Lifestyle Financial Planner, Encompass Financial Management Ltd, Berkshire
  • I passed R06 with distinction! I found the case study analysis really useful, I would recommend it to anyone planning to sit this exam. I found the material very helpful as it gave me some much needed direction in the lead up to my exam.
    Rachel HarperRachel HarperParaplanner, M.R. Financial Services, Preston
  • "I have always used Brand Financial Training for the papers and practice for the exams, and I would also say that probably due to Brand Financial I have passed every exam first time and also managed to achieve the Fellowship in good time (about 30 months from starting the diploma to finishing).  I have recommended you to all who wish to sit the exams in the future."
    Brian HemmingsBrian HemmingsChartered Financial Planner, GMB Portfolio Services Ltd, Edinburgh
  • I passed today! Thank you for your support throughout my revision process. Your case study analysis is none other than exceptional. I had a problem on exam day where I only had 2 hours to complete the exam instead of the 3 hours that is allocated due to a system error with the PSI and CII. I can only put it down to the analysis being so thorough that my first instinct answers to the questions were enough to get me the pass!
    Lisa AllisterLisa AllisterFinancial Planner, Belfast
  • I was having a difficult time with R03 - narrowly missed the pass mark. I’d ordered the CII mock tests and learning materials but something wasn’t clicking. So I ordered your mock exams and could see the difference in the way the questions were written, and I felt like I had genuinely got a tool that would help me get those extra marks. Anyway, I passed and I am delighted with the impact your study material has had. I’ll be using you for R04, R05 and beyond.
    Paul HudsonPaul HudsonBranch Manager, Bolton
  • I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Brand for the work that goes into the R0 support material as it has helped me a lot throughout my studies to gain my diploma.
    RoyRoyStirling
  • "The R06 case study analysis was fantastic!  There was nothing in the exam that wasn't covered.  Brand was recommended to me by a colleague who said "you don't need anything else" and they were correct. I would happily recommend your services."
    Edward BarstowEdward BarstowWealth Account Manager, Aviva, Sheffield
