- 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 HarperParaplanner, M.R. Financial Services, Preston - I cannot praise your materials highly enough - both for AF5 and all other exams too and as someone who has purchased other analysis and resources I can say with full honesty that Brand materials are better than any others I have used within the market! I would not have got to where I am today with my studies without Brand!Jack SaundersFinancial Advisor, Lemonade Reward, Hampshire and/or Surrey
- I gained Chartered Financial Planner status in early 2017 and wanted to thank you for your support throughout my years of study to attain this qualification. It was a hard slog at times but worth it in the end. I have used Brand material for all exams, bar the G60 exam back in 1998, and have found it invaluable. It has always cut through the rather bland CII material and made study far more palatable. Brand has continued to evolve and improve the delivery of the learning material which has proved to be a fantastic investment.Gary FrielChartered Financial Planner, Kent Insurance Services, Sittingbourne
- Brand has helped enormously with the study & learning process. For me, it adds a different dimension to the otherwise dull & drab CII study syllabus.Gary FrielChartered Financial Planner, Kent Insurance Services, Sittingbourne
- I passed R01-R06 with a 100% success rate, and a lot of that has been down to the Brand study materials that really simplify the learning process. The practice exams for R01-R05 were great, as all answers were explained at the back of each paper. For R06 the case study breakdowns were really simple to understand and covered a lot of what was in the actual exam. I’ve recommended Brand to all my colleagues that are studying for R0 exams, and I will certainly be using your services again when I move on to the AF exams.Michael HennessyParaplanner, Essex
- I found the Brand R06 analysis invaluable, as it addressed all the questions that came up in the exam in great depth, meaning that I could focus my revision on specific areas. I would recommend the Brand material to any budding advisor.Ryan CrozierTrainee Financial Planner, Navigator Financial Planning, Northern Ireland

Gary FrielHow will the full fact-find analysis of the actual exam paper help me to pass?
Passing AF5 isn’t only about having the necessary knowledge and understanding, it’s about being able to apply that knowledge exactly as needed and in a timely manner.
It is essential that you have fully prepared for the exam and are ready to answer questions relating to the fact-find. If you go into the exam unprepared, you will lose vital time and marks. Our full fact-find analysis comes with a two-hour webinar and an email support day in the lead-up to the exam, giving you even more ways to prepare as much as possible. The analysis covers the areas that you are likely to see in the exam; however, other questions may be asked, and we strongly advise you to think around other potential areas of questioning.
Why an ‘Analysis’ and not a ‘Solution’?
Some providers refer to their analysis of the AF5 fact-find as a ‘solution’. We decided not to call our analysis a ‘solution’ simply because it’s impossible to provide a solution when you don’t know what the exam questions are going to be – and no-one knows that until exam day!
We didn’t want to mislead and therefore we decided to call this resource an analysis – our experts tell you what they expect to come up in the exam based on their expert analysis of the fact-find. This analysis provides the likely questions and answers required based on the fact-find.
