IFA Diploma Exams

The Retail Distribution Review (RDR) has proposed the introduction of new minimum qualification requirements for financial advisers: the need for an Ofqual (Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator) accredited Level 4 qualification.

Current practising advisers must obtain a level 4 qualification, such as the CII's Diploma in Financial Planning or the ifs School of Finance's DipFA®, by 2012

That's only two years' away so many IFAs are planning to take these exams during 2010 which is a tall order requiring many hours of study as these are University degree level exams requiring coursework and written exams to achieve success.
