PFS Pre Exam Revision - J02 (Trusts)

>> Event Overview

The Personal Finance Society Hants and Dorset, Surrey & Thames Valley Regional Committees in association with the Insurance Institutes of Bournemouth, Guildford, Reading and Southampton have organised training days for those members who are studying for and taking the JO2 and J05 examinations.

At this point in time we do not know if we will run this as an online distance learning event or a face to face training day. This will depend on HM Government’s guidelines in the Autumn and where we are re the lockdown and what the PFS and CII nationally are advising us. Even if the lockdown measures are eased from September onwards, we will need to find a suitable venue that can cater for social distancing and has suitable hand sanitising facilities. However, we have the option of running this event as an ‘online distance learning’ training day if a traditional face to face training day is not an option.

Further details available at: CII Exams (Coronavirus Update)

These aim of this training day is to significantly improve delegates’ chances of passing the exam by developing an understanding of the key technical points that are likely to be tested.
