Please End The CII's monopoly
At last someone seems to wants to challenge the CII, who for years have been far more concerned with lining their own pockets than actually offering relevant exams to an active face to face adviser. Lets hope they can actually design a paper with subject matter clients actually need us to have a firm understanding of to complete our day to day role.

Approved Level 4 Qualifications
There are a number of FSA approved Level 4 benchmark qualifications on the FSA Approved Exams list in the FSA’s Consultation Paper CP10/14. The ifs School of Finance’s Diploma for Financial Advisers (DipFA)is one of these, and is already well established as a benchmark qualification with the financial adviser community.

CII Monopoly
Nice to see a challenge to the CII Monopoly. Shame it's a year too late. Also what does "operating a fee-based structure and demonstrating profitability" have to do with the quality of a firm. I'm not sure how an expensive fee based charging firm on which the client may pay 20% V.A.T. would be any better than a commission based adviser discounting commission to an appropriate level?
