Why study towards the PCIAM?


The FSA have confirmed that the CISI Level 6 Certificate in Private Client and Investment Management meets and surpasses the step-change requirement of a benchmark qualification at OfQual Level 4. Therefore, under the ‘no regrets’ provision, advisors who pass the PCIAM exam who are already Level 3 qualified, will only need to undertake the CPD top-up to become RDR compliant. The FSA and FSSC have confirmed that the PCIAM will be acceptable for this purpose up to the end of the transitional period at the end of 2012.

BPP offer PCIAM training courses and distance learning products towards the examinations that are currently held on a quarterly basis by the CISI. For further details please refer to our CISI Diploma section.

We can also offer PCIAM training courses on a flexible in-house basis, specifically tailored to your firm’s requirements. For further information on the in-house option please contact Bill Waugh on 020 7067 8804.
