How our Customers Love to Use our Revision Notes

We asked our customers to tell us their favourite way to use our revision notes, and here are some ideas of how you can get the best out of them.

  • We know that some of our customers like to use them as a more digestible way of taking in the information after they’ve worked through the full study text. Once they have confirmed their understanding, they like to rely on these revision notes throughout the rest of their revision.
  • Some like to use them to give structure to their overall study plan, and so they can tick items off as they progress through their study.
  • Some who are very familiar with the exam topic already use them as a ‘refresher’, for a quick overview of the syllabus.
  • Many customers use these structured notes to form their own revision notes, cutting and moving around content to suit themselves and adding their own notes and annotations.
  • Many customers use these revision notes as the final part of their exam revision, for a last-minute refresher in the days before the exam.
  • "I've used Brand resources for all of my exams over the past 2 years and have passed them all! The study notes are a great start to revision as they break down a subject into more manageable chunks. The papers are also a good study aid to check your knowledge is up to scratch. I've recommended them in the past and I will continue to do so!"
    JenniJenniParaplanner, Surrey
  • We’ve been using the Brand Financial Training resources for our employees for over a year now and everyone at Y Tree Limited who has taken the exams using the Brand resources has passed first time.
    Eliana SydesEliana SydesHead of Financial Life Strategy
  • "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 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 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 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!"
