Description

The study content for AF8 focuses on the main areas of the advice process, both for people at the stage of retiring and those already in retirement.

We have put in place a comprehensive blended-learning solution combining PDF downloads and video tutorials to guide you through your assignments. Our AF8 course doesn’t focus on teaching technical concepts. We focus on technique: critical analysis; sound financial planning; essay writing; and the application of technical concepts.
