“In addition to detailed study of the course book and exam guides, I tended to go through each bank of wizard questions in turn until I achieved very high marks and then cemented this with the random question games. It gave the opportunity to practice repeatedly until I consistently obtained top marks. It was possible to work through questions in any spare 10 minutes.”
James Garrod
PMW |
“Can I compliment you on a fantastic site which was instrumental in letting me study for CF1 in 6 weeks and passing. Thanks very much.”
David Campbell
Scottish Widows |
"I have just sat my exams today for Units One and Two of Cemap1 and passed with 96% and 86%. I purchased the Wizard learning package on Tuesday of last week and found it invaluable help with my revision. It showed me where my weak spots were and pointed me straight to the relevant sections of the manual to brush up on the sections I needed to do more work on. Sitting the actual IFS exams today turned out to be a pretty pain-free experience and I won't hesitate to use Wizard Learning again for my next modules. Brilliant program, easy to use and really makes a difference! Thanks so much!"
Tracy Norton |
"I have just taken the J06 exam and I know I have passed with the help

“Wizard Learning helped me a lot - it added another dimension to my learning and allowed me to determine whether I had grasped what I had read which is sometimes difficult when you are studying in isolation.”
Victoria Clench
Monahans Financial Services |
“ I have passed CF4, CF5 and CF9 first time which I subscribed for on Wizard Learning. I personally have found Wizard Learning invaluable. I recommend anyone studying for an exam to subscribe to this service. The CII provides past papers to test your knowledge, but having a large data bank of questions from Wizard Learning along with guidance and case studies really helps you to understand the subject area you are studying for and tests your knowledge in much greater depth. It gives you the confidence that is greatly needed. I will definitely use Wizard Learning for my diploma study.”
Annie Wright
Pensions Manager |
“I am very impressed with the service your provide. I recently passed two exams, JO4 & JO5 and believe that Wizard Learning really helped me to test my knowledge whilst I was revising - hence why I am using your services again. I wish I had discovered Wizard Learning when I was sitting my previous exams - it would certainly have helped me. I have also been verbally advertising your services which I think are good value for money.”
Shasta Buno |
“I wanted to thank you for putting together the most useful learning aid since the invention of mind maps. Multiple choice questions are very much a matter of technique and to be frank, I've always been thrown by such tests. Until now!
I now have renewed confidence, and at the tender age of 60 have decided to take a number of further CII modules with the aid of Wizard Learning. Your site is probably the most useful thing I have found - better teaching area than CII books by far and much clearer explanations of the detail."
Lee Clarke
Senior Financial Planning adviser
AWD Chase de Vere |
"Just to thank you for adding CF8 in time for the July exams - I'm sure I would not have passed it without the bank of questions! Anyone interested in these exams should register and use your service. Its just a shame I've finished my AFPC now, just as I was discovering your site."
Helen Lupton
Ludlow & Co |
“Without your help I may not have passed. I will use your services again.”
Ivan Lyons
Morgans |
“I subscribed for 4 exams and passed all. I think Wizard earning helped me a lot, it was a welcome alternative to the reference books I was using! Wizard Learning was a great learning tool for me and I don't think I'd have passed as quickly as I did without it. I've since recommended it to my colleagues.”
Rachel Holder

“I passed my exam, the Wizard learning made a big difference to my preparation and will definitely use you again for my next exam.”
Steve Guichard

"I would like to thank you for the great help that your website has been to me whilst preparing for my certificate exams. I passed all the exams first time, and although I did put a lot of effort into reading the official CII materials, I believe that it is your sets of questions that helped me go through each exam stress-free and achieve above 90% score each time. I will be recommending your site to everyone studying for their qualifications and purchasing further units as I continue my professional development. Well done and keep up the good work."
Alex Sasin |

Bharti Mistry

"I recently signed up for the Wizard Learning multiple choice test papers re CF8 (Long Term Care). I don't often give testimonials, but having given myself only 3 weeks to pass the exam, I thought that the £40 investment was a good idea given my relative lack of preparedness.
For the first test paper I only achieved 50% and was worried! However, after taking all of the tests several times over a couple of late nights, I eventually achieved 100% on the last test paper at midnight on the night before my exam.
Next day, filled with new found confidence, I took the exam and passed.
Rest assured, I will be signing up for my next exam with you for sure - money very well spent!."
Gordon Clark

Wouldn't have passed without it."

"Just to let you know I got my result today on the JO4 exam and passed. I know you definitely helped me pass this exam and I would definitely recommend Wizard Learning to anyone studying the CII courses. Even though JO4 is a written exam the multiple choice and case study tests on line was a much better way of studying than reading the book on it's own. I personally find it hard to keep reading a book so to keep having questions fired at me and building up knowledge that way was extremely helpful."
David Simons (Cert PFS)

"Thanks to your questions stretching my knowledge of some missed sections, I managed a comfortable pass."
