Anyone on here an IFA - I would love some insight please.

I am considering retraining as the last 15 months has been somewhat tumultuous employment wise and I am looking to take charge of and change my path.

I have done some research and sought some advice, however, there is a lot of conflicting and not terribly clear advice out there, so I am hoping I can get some pointers from people who have already trodden this path.

My understanding is that you qualify in stages and initially start with 3 exams that enable you to advise on mortgages, with that being the first step on the ladder and a prerequisite for any further training?

I would very much appreciate any advice from anyone in a position to do so.

Thanks very much in advance.

Thanks for your feedback.

I am actually attending an SJP open evening this month as this is the company I have chosen via introduction from someone I know. I have also read up on their training programme, which sounds perfect for me.

Thank you very much for the feedback, insights and suggestions, it is all very helpful and much appreciated.

I will contact direct for further info as suggested. I have RO1 on the desk in front of me and two weeks to read, take and pass the exam!!
