  • "I have just passed my exam first time, once again, relying mainly on your study notes. The calculation workbook was very useful, helping me to understand and work through the calculations, as were the mock exams giving me practice for the exam itself. Thank you!"
    Paul JacksonPaul JacksonPartner, Professional Practice Services, Worcestershire
  • 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
  • “Your R06 case study analysis was great & definitely helped significantly – it was good to know that you are revising the right areas  & hi-lighted some areas which I hadn’t anticipated -  it covered the vast majority  of the questions . Personally, I found the questions on the first case study more challenging than the second. Questions seemed more specific – needing deep knowledge of details rather than an overview, such as on pensions & divorce.  I have used your resources on RO1, RO2,RO3, RO4,RO5 & RO6 & passed them all first time so would recommend them to anybody taking these exams.”
    Jonathan WoodmanJonathan WoodmanBoroughbridge
  • Have to say, very best pleased with the mocks throughout my studying for R01-R06. Wouldn't have passed without them as they were my primary study material. I'll still be doing more exams so will continue to use Brand.
    Adam MichieAdam MichieFinancial Advisor, Glasgow
  • "Your R06 analysis helped me to pass. In fact I spent most of my revision time using your analysis. The detailed breakdowns and the section on the "general" recurring questions meant that I didn't feel that I was scrambling around for marks at all. The key for me was using the analysis you provided as the cornerstone for my exam preparation because the case studies could lead you off the scent or you could miss key CII clues but moreover it allowed me to structure my answers in the exam in a format that I would not have known to otherwise and made for efficient use of time. I have no doubt that your analysis not only gave me the knowledge to pass the exam but a way to demonstrate that knowledge effectively so that the examiner had little/no guesswork in what I was trying to communicate. I recommend your analysis for anyone taking the exam in the future because it gives an efficient, accurate breakdown of what is likely to be asked and the generic section is also hugely valuable too."
    David GunnDavid GunnAdviser, Nottingham
  • 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.

  • 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
  • "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 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."
    Tammie SteadmanTammie SteadmanChartered Financial Planner, Footes Financial Planning UK, Birmingham
  • "Your study notes were invaluable... I would advise everybody who is due to sit these to use the study notes and the mock exams as these will give you a terrific insight into how the exams work. Good luck."
