FA2 Revision Workshop – June
FA2 is one optional unit for the CII Award in Financial Administration. The content covers the essential knowledge and skills desired for those working in administrative pension roles. However, you may be fine with remembering the key administrative dates but how confident do you feel about your pension knowledge? Don’t let the level 3 / 10 credits fool you, the current pass rate for those completing the unit is currently 55%.
This isn’t surprising, pensions are confusing. The government is involved an awful lot and they have changed things around a fair few times. It’s safe to say that the pension simplification rules didn’t quite meet their objective! If you’re new to the industry, do not have much experience, or just generally hate pensions in general then this study material may be right for you.
These workshops are designed to bring to life the content covered in the study text. Students are expected to have their own study text and already have a good level of comprehension on the subject in order to get the most out of the session.
The FA2 workshop includes access to our e-learning portal where you’ll be enrolled in:
- Your Study Days module – here you’ll have access to all the materials needed for the session, (such as workshop slides and crib sheets), as well as questions covered during the revision days, and the zoom video recording.
- FA2: E-Learning Revision Material – free of charge (usually £50 + VAT).
