Student

Studied CII Level 4 and 6 range

I passed! Somehow I managed to get 80%, I thought it would be a lot lower because it was a challenging exam! I didn’t do any additional studying other than the training you provided so thank you very much!

Tom Cochran

I passed the R04 exam! Thank you for all your help, not just with the content and questions but you gave me confidence that I could pass it which meant a lot.

It has been a great product for us in terms of getting staff & advisers learning and developing, as well as being able to easily track annual testing has been a godsend! It’s a fantastic service.

Louise Dunstan

Head of Training & Competence, Sandringham Financial Partners

There is no doubt that Redmill Advance has taken our regulatory learning and testing functions to a new level!

Tim Grey

Managing Director, Sandringham Financial Partner

The 1-hour seminar was exceptional! It was the most useful call out of all the providers I have had. Most of the other calls didn’t provide much more info/thoughts than the analysis already gave. But yours was engaging and helped focus on certain areas.
