How will the AF7 PDF core knowledge resource help me to pass?

The CII AF7 exam has a large number of ‘staple questions’ which come up time and again in the exam paper. You should also be aware that, whilst you are unlikely to be asked to perform calculations in the exam, you need to understand the calculation methods in order to understand some of the questions. Our AF7 ‘Core Knowledge’ resource focuses on these ‘staple questions’, including questions, answers, detailed explanations, and cross-references to the relevant CII study text.

 

  • "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
  • "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
  • “The hard work needed to get through exams is paying off. Many more advisers have been inspired to learn and work hard. My old boss told me once – we don’t sell widgets – we sell knowledge, trust and confidence. Knowledge is a key component - the trust equation is a whole different subject, but many more advisers have been on a learning journey that is sure to continue - and the stats prove it. Well done to everyone at Brand for supporting them on that journey."
    John ReynoldsJohn ReynoldsExpert Pensions, Edinburgh
  • By using your revision notes, [mock] papers and calc books, I've been able to pass all my R0 exams in around 5-6 months. Honestly cannot thank Brand enough. Notes are always impeccable and customer service has always been spot on. Such an amazing service at such a reasonable price – almost feels like cheating!
    Charlie GarnerCharlie GarnerFinancial Planner, Islands FS, Buckinghamshire
  • I would highly recommend the material from Brand Financial Training for anyone sitting exams with the CII and working towards Chartered status . The material helped me pass J10 and AF4 first time with very little time to study. Excellent value for money! Thank you Brand Financial Training
    Sian ThomasSian ThomasFinancial Adviser, Hargreaves Lansdown Advisory Services, Bristol
  • "I'm now Chartered... I have sat six exams in a year - all supported by Brand and passed them all. Thank you!"
