Extract from Financial Adviser 28 February 2008
| Firm offers Wizard idea for AF3 exam practice |
|
Advisers aiming for chartered status can now get practical experience at taking the AF3 advanced pensions exam thanks to an online product from Wizard Learning.
The learning solutions provider has launched a service whereby candidates take a written mock online exam, which is then marked by a chartered financial plannercomplete with comments and answer suggestions and re-accessed by the candidate.
Mike Goldsmith, managing director of Wizard Learning and a chartered financial planner, said: “The CII recommends the advanced diploma candidates dedicate 120 hours of study in preparation for the AF exams, but where do you get that experience from?
|
Study guides are not issued for the advanced diploma exams because the exam is designed to build on knowledge already gained at diploma level.”
Mr Goldsmith, who expects more than 100 candidates to use the AF3 mock exam system by April, said: “Getting practice at taking the exams is what people are finding difficult. But that is what gives us a competitive edge.”
While past exam papers can be purchased from the CII, Mr Goldsmith says that these may not be up-to-date with recent legislation and obviously does not provide bespoke recommendations for each incorrectly answered question as the Wizard Learning online product does.
