CPD and gap fill system

Wizard Learning CPD system does it all
This is your ‘one-stop-shop’ where in addition to completing your gap fill requirements we can also help you to fulfil your ongoing CPD needs.

The system links you to our 5 diploma online multimedia courses, which are the full online courses provided by Wizard Learning for the regulated diploma exams (RO), and which are built on the final exam learning outcomes.

The system provides an online monthly CPD update and a final 10 question assessment on a wide range of topics to help you keep up to date with key financial services industry developments and current issues, and so help fulfil the FSA requirement of a minimum 35 CPD hours a year. Because this type of CPD is classed as ‘structured’, it will help satisfy the requirement of at least 21 hours of structured CPD per year.

All these elements are provided within a single affordable monthly cost, click on the course names for a detailed description of the contents.
