  • "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 did pass! I’m quite sure I would not have passed without the case study analysis and am so happy I invested in it; worth every penny!
    Ruth ArnettRuth ArnettMaidstone
  • I just wanted to send you a quick email to say I passed my AF5 exam with a distinction and really feel that this could not have been achieved without your fact find analysis.
    Jessica BargeryJessica BargeryFinancial Advisor, South Wales
  • "Pleased to say I passed R06 comfortably.  I used a range of resources to help prepare me for this and yours was by far the most comprehensive.  Thank you so much for the fantastic support and I would recommend your resources to anyone wanting to complete the level 4 diploma that doesn't have the time or inclination to do resits."
    Donna BaileyDonna BaileyFinancial Services Professional, Walsall
  • "I have used Brand Financial Training for many of my CF & R0 exams. Each module has done exactly what it days on the tin, and it helps you pass your exams. The material is very detailed, but not to the point it's overwhelming. It complements the CII coursework, but gives you a detailed understanding of the topics and puts your theory into practice. I have a 100% success rate so far, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the service to any of my colleagues or friends."
    Leanne TraceyLeanne TraceySenior Customer Consultant, Standard Life Direct
  • I found the Brand Financial Training R06 analysis extremely useful when preparing for my exam and passed with 76%, which I’m not sure I would have gotten without your material. The most helpful aspect was identifying the sequence of questions that are likely to be asked in the exam. This allowed me to focus on ‘core areas’ to secure the bulk of the marks. This is questions like ‘detail the additional information required’ and the generic questioning.
    John EdwardsJohn EdwardsIFA, Hoyl Independent Advisers, Cromer
  • I have recently passed my R06 with a distinction grade and have been using your material since R01 and will use going forward into the AF exams. Your case study analysis for the R06 was a great help and no doubt brought me a good few marks that wouldn’t have been obtained otherwise. Your mock exams for the other R0s and the CF6 exam were an amazing help and a valuable additional study tool. I recommend you to everyone I know sitting exams. Thank you very much, your efforts are very much worthwhile.
    Jared ThomasJared ThomasParaplanner, Seven Financial Group, Cardiff/Port Talbot
  • I must say that the exam analysis was absolutely invaluable to me. It really helped me to focus my attention on certain areas and it was nice last-minute reminder to have on more common exam questions (i.e., the roles of a trustee).
    Adam PriceAdam PriceFinancial Planner
  • I have passed R06 using only the 'Brand' material for revision.  A lot of similar questions came up.  I learnt the model answers verbatim, which helped I think gain near maximum marks on similar questions.
    John KellyParaplanner, Chase de Vere, London
  • First, I'd like to thank you and the team for all the support you offer students. I sat AF5 in September and don't think I would've made it without your help and support, thank you!
    Maggie TsvetanovaMaggie TsvetanovaCompliance Officer, Informed Financial Planning, Hull
