  • 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 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 would like to say a big thank you for the quality, depth, clarity and effectiveness of the study material packages which I used for the RO2, RO3 and RO6 exams allowing me to attain the Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning."
    Antony GummersonAntony GummersonClient Support, W Denis Financial Services, Leeds
  • "I passed my exams 1st time after buying the 3 mock exam packs. They are very relevant and gave me that extra confidence in taking the exam. Thank you Brand 🙂 The service is excellent as well I might add."
    Lianne JacksonLianne JacksonInvestment Sales Adviser, Chelmsford
  • "Having been recommended to you guys via our link to Paradigm, I noticed that you did an analysis of the RO6 exam questions, which having done some reading prior to taking the exam, I thought I'd take the hit and check it out. Having worked my way through all of the RO's previously, I wanted to ensure that I had the best possible preparation to enable me to pass RO6 first time and get my Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning. All in all, I was impressed with how close the predicted questions were to those in the actual exam and this, in turn, meant that I was well prepared to back up my own personal knowledge for the exam, and your customer service support has also been very helpful. The resources were cost effective as well - a small price to pay to achieve the first milestone in my career qualifications! I would happily recommend Brand to others who are looking for materials to help them with their ongoing qualifications and I will definitely continue to make use of your resources as I work towards achieving Chartered status."
    Jake ClarksonJake ClarksonParaplanner, Clarkson Wayman Ball Ltd, Market Harborough, Leicestershire
  • I received a pass in my recent AF5 and the Fact Find analysis I purchased was the most amazing help. It’s fair to say my journey would have been a lot harder had I not invested in your services.
    Phillip WilliamsPhillip WilliamsRegional Pension Specialist, Bristol
  • "I would just like to thank you and the team for the hard work you do in creating such manageable and relevant study notes  - they really helped me get to grips with where the gaps in my knowledge were and generally assisted me with supporting the knowledge I already had - and the practise questions, which were a breath of fresh air compared to the basic end of chapter questions in the CII text book and on revision mate.  One thing's for sure, I will be 100% using Brand's products to help me with my next exam!"
    Jon CarterJon CarterAdministration Assistant, Premier Partnership Ltd, Birmingham
  • "It was hard for me to commit myself to start studying again as I am a full time mum of two under 5. However, I took the challenge and  decided to go for it. I was looking for past papers and that's when I came across the mock exams through the Brand Financial Training website. After doing them over and over again I was able to revise  the areas I was weak in. It gave me confidence and I was ready for the exams. If I didn't do these papers I would have been a nervous wreck! I guess I owe a big thank you to Brand Financial Training."
    Shalini DevarajanShalini DevarajanIpswich
  • I think you have perfected your analysis material and all I can say is thank you. It’s abundantly clear you have the best interests of your students at heart, and you offer a fantastic service. Great content, fantastic support, and provision of enjoyed material.
    Charlie YarlettCharlie YarlettSenior Technical Specialist, California
  • "I am pleased to say I passed AF5 using Brand's AF5 Fact-Find Analysis. I am now preparing my application for Chartered Status! I have used the Brand materials for a number of the exams along the way and have found them to be most useful and very reasonably priced and always recommend them to colleagues."
