  • From completing my R01 exam in January 2018 to getting my result for my R06 exam in May 2019, Brand Financial Training have helped me work my way through Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning. I have found their Mock Exams and Calculation Workbooks particularly helpful and their R06 Case Study review was critical to me passing my R06 exam. I have recommended Brand Financial Training to my colleagues and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to my peers also.
    Matthew BiggsMatthew BiggsTrainee Independent Financial Planner, Liberty Partnership Ltd, Peterborough
  • I did pass - actually, I’ve now completed the Advanced Diploma and achieved Chartered status, passed every exam from level 3-6 first time and can honestly say the Brand materials were essential and I would not have had the journey I have without them.
    Peter SpencePeter SpenceResearch Analyst, North Yorkshire
  • I relied on the AF5 analysis heavily for my exam and was delighted to receive the pass. I would always recommend the team at Brand for their resources and customer service.
    Rebecca EllisonRebecca EllisonParaplanner, Belfast
  • I just wanted to say a big thank you for the R03 calculations workbook and mock paper purchased earlier this year which have been invaluable as part of my study. I passed the R03 this morning and have used your material to practice and practice again. Without these, I don't think I would have passed.
    Andreas NicolaouAndreas NicolaouOperational Tax Manager
  • This was my 1st AF exam and thanks to your fantastic and spot on analysis I have passed it at first attempt! I have used your materials for all my ‘R0’ and couple of ‘J ‘ exams and I have to admit, that without it I would have not been able to achieve my diploma! Special mention to all the calculation workbooks and their perfect, easy to understand layout.
    AniaAniaParaplanner, Manchester
  • I passed R06 yesterday, all thanks to Brand! I have used your supplementary study material throughout R01-R06, as well as for some CF & LP exams, passed every exam first time thanks to the support you offered, so thank you! I will be starting my AF exams on my journey to chartered, and will be continuing to use your materials throughout the continuation of my studies.
    Kian ErakovicKian ErakovicParaplanner, Yorkshire
  • "I've used Brand resources for all of my exams over the past 2 years and have passed them all! The study notes are a great start to revision as they break down a subject into more manageable chunks. The papers are also a good study aid to check your knowledge is up to scratch. I've recommended them in the past and I will continue to do so!"
    JenniJenniParaplanner, Surrey
  • 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 passed!  All thanks to your case study analysis which was the only thing I used in the lead up to the exam, I passed on my first attempt!
    Antoinette ElgarAntoinette ElgarWealth Management Administrator, Argentis Wealth Management, London
  • "The Brand training material certainly helps you to focus on the key information required and get straight to the salient facts. Having to read all of RO4 and JO5 was daunting but by using the notes as a guide it helped me to condense a lot of this information quickly ."
