R04 - Aviva Academy sufficient to pass exam?

Dr1ver · November 2017

Hi all,

R04 is next on my hit list and due to my short attention span I've passed exams purely using consolidated learning (e.g. Redmill).
I took note of the Aviva Academy's offerings and that have an 8 part study for R04 - has one had any experience using solely Aviva's teachings? or is it still worth opting for something like Redmill?

Thanks in Advance

The Aviva notes are pretty good, I use them before I read the chapter in the textbook - however I find that the book gives better depth to the content and I'd be hesitant to do the exam without reading the book a couple of times.

Head over to Fidelity FundsNetwork's technical pension page - there are a series of videos presented by Neil Dickey that cover every one of the syllabus' learning outcomes. He certainly knows his stuff - he co-authored part of the AF7 textbook for pension transfers and he explains things really well.

The Aviva notes are good but do not go into enough detail. You will definitely need to read the book.

Thanks for all your feedback, I'll check those videos out too Jamie - appreciate the recommendation

I'll stick to what has been working

Are the videos still there? Now that Aviva has pulled the plug has Fidelity also? If they are still there, does anyone have the URL as I can't seem to find it!

Hi, does anyone have the RO4 notes and question papers please? Would be really helpful if possible. Thanks
