More than 600 financial advisers have passed their Personal Finance Society Chartered Financial Planner exams since lockdown measures were introduced to slow the spread of Coronavirus in March 2020.

Advisers due to sit an exam with the CII yesterday faced technology issues as the remote examination system faced configuration issues.

More than 2,500 Chartered Insurance Institute members will take their exams online over the next few months as the professional body shifts to remote testing and remote invigilation due to the pandemic.

The CISI has reported that 80% of candidates passed the latest CISI Level 6 Advanced Financial Planning exam which leads to the UK’s highest Financial Planning certification.
