Quilter’s Financial Adviser School (FAS) is pleased to announce that following it making all the training materials for the first unit of its Diploma for Financial Advisers programme, free and available to all, over 600 people have accessed the resource.
The module, Financial Services, Regulation and Ethics (FSRE) is the first of three modules needed to obtain the Level 4 qualification from the London Institute of Banking and Finance, enabling graduates to become a UK financial adviser.
The module was made free as part of the school’s FSRE4ALL scheme around two years ago to give more people a taste of financial advice and ultimately encourage them to successfully start the journey to becoming a financial adviser. Making the module free enables those who are unsure if this is the right career for them or uncertain about learning something new an opportunity to get to grips with the subject matter.
The available materials include over 20 hours of pre-recorded video lectures, question banks and reading lists, along with a host of other training materials.
Julian Hince, head of Quilter Financial Adviser School says:
“No one likes to go into anything blind particularly a new career, which is why we felt that offering some of our training materials free to anyone could help people work out whether this is the profession for them.
“We are really pleased with how many people have accessed the free materials and subsequently gone on to start on their journey to becoming a financial adviser. The industry needs to do whatever it can to get more people interested in a career in advice and initiatives like these are key to making financial advice more accessible, to more people.
“The nation is grappling with high levels of inflation, which is causing a significant squeeze on their finances. Good financial advice has never been more important to help people ride out this period and we are proud at the Quilter Financial Adviser School to be doing our bit to grow the number of financial advisers joining the profession.”
