Huge Thanks!
As the year draws to a close, we wanted to send you a huge thanks. Your support this year has been fantastic, and it has enabled us to make a large Christmas donation to our chosen charity.
We asked for your votes on LinkedIn to see who you, as our customers, would like to support the most. And we are pleased to announce that the winner was Mind!
You can read more about this worthy organisation, here. A Christmas donation will be heading their way to help in all the great work they do.
We thank you for making these donations possible.

Recently, we looked at the Marriage Allowance and the Married Couple’s Allowance, and it got us thinking about the c470,000 families who choose to cohabit rather than marry or enter into civil partnerships and so can’t claim these allowances even if they are otherwise eligible. In this article, we outline some of the tax benefits that cohabiting couples miss out on by not marrying. This article will be useful to those who are studying for any of the CII CF1, R01, R03, R06, AF1, or AF5 exams.
To help you prepare for your CII AF5 or R06 exam, this Brand Bitesize video explains how to approach a recommend-and-justify-style question on the topic of Protection.
We’re excited about the launch of our brand-new E-Mocks for the CII LP2 exam! Designed by experts to replicate the real exam experience, E-Mocks are your ultimate tool for preparing with confidence.

Passing your CII exam isn’t only about having the necessary knowledge and understanding, it’s about being able to apply that knowledge in an exam setting exactly as needed and in a timely manner.
It is essential that you practise multiple exam papers to ensure that you know exactly how to apply your knowledge. Too many people fail due to a lack of exam practice, even if their knowledge is good.
Our PDF mock exam papers ensure you get the practice you need to enable you to achieve exam success.
A quick note on our ‘opening hours’ over Christmas and New Year.
Our website is open 24/7 365 days a year, so if you are keen to get going with your revision during the Christmas break, you can purchase and download our resources with one hand, while holding a glass of mulled wine in the other.
All our resources can be purchased and downloaded/accessed immediately, regardless of when you order.
To allow our staff to take a break over the Christmas period, we will be closing our offices from 20th December until 2nd January. During that time, we will not be able to reply to any emails or voicemail messages. However, rest assured that any messages left will be responded to when we return.
We would like to wish those of you who celebrate it, a fantastic Christmas, and all of you a very happy new year.
Updates to CII Study Texts
Here’s a reminder that the CII update their study texts throughout the examinable year to either incorporate new legislations, correct errors, or clarify information. Many candidates aren’t aware of this, which can result in candidates studying out-of-date information.
To find out if you have the most up-to-date information, visit the CII website, navigate to your chosen exam and click on ‘learning solutions update’ in the ‘Unit updates’ section in the sidebar.
