Who is it for?
Those who want to provide professionally qualified technical support in a financial adviser business – support for which there is increasing demand, due to recent regulatory changes. The role of the paraplanner is to help the financial adviser research, analyse and prepare compliant financial reports for clients.
What will they learn?
Within the risk or compliance function of organisations, the role of the Senior Compliance/Risk Specialist is to provide high-quality advice in areas such as risk, financial crime, compliance, and modelling or analysing data. This is likely to include dealing with complex problems, implementing new legal or regulatory requirements, and working with senior managers. So apprentices will gain a grounding in ethical standards, and acquire significant technical expertise – as well as excellent influencing skills, as there can often be differing views on the appropriate action to take. They will also gain a thorough knowledge of risk and compliance frameworks, policies and procedures.
This is a ‘core and options’ model, where apprentices can cover specific technical knowledge in a single option.
Assessment
- CII Advanced Diploma in Insurance, Diploma in Insurance exams
- Assessment at the end (‘end-point assessment’)
What's next?
