Well, it’s not AF3.
http://www.cii.co.uk/qualifications/unit-pension-transfers-(af7)/
It’s something different.
It’s advanced: still level 6
It’s smaller: 20 advanced credits.
It’s more focused: Pension Transfers only
Is it authorised by the FCA as an appropriate exam for occupational pension transfer permissions?
Watch this space: I think it will.
Some things I do know:
We WILL be offering a study support plan and workshop to help you get this exam, starting July 2017: there is nobody better placed to support you through this exam. We are expert pensions.
I will be sitting this exam with you in October 2017.
Things to ponder before our structured study plans start on 6 January 2017:
Do I want to sit AF3?
Do I want the 30 credits toward chartered and the pension transfer permissions?
Or, do I just want the permissions?
Or, is there another way (to Chartered) – without sitting AF3?
AF1, AF5, AF4, PCIAM and AF7?
Much to ponder….watch this space.
