Hi All,
I was after a bit of guidance if possible, i have my Diploma in regulated financial planning and a few other exams which brings me up to 155 credits. I am looking to start my Level 6 exams and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the best way to approach them/what order to go for?
I know that after the 4 level 6 exams i will be short 15 credits so may have to take a level 3 exam to add to my credits.
Thank you

I would start with AF8, as its 3 pieces of coursework over a 12 month period. You can get them done quickly to leave plenty of time for resubmissions if needed. There's a 60 day marking time per coursework too so I wouldn't want to leave this until last.
Then I'd look at AF1/AF4 in either order followed by AF5 to finish. All personal preference though
Depending on how much experience you have it may be worth looking into the Level 7 Certified Financial Planner (CFP) route with The CISI.

There's also a really good graphic showing the order of exams with boosst financial

Could also look at SCQF Level 9 Practical Investment Planning as this provides 15 Advanced Diploma Non Unit-Specific credits with CII.
