The Chartered Insurance Institute and Personal Finance Society are seeking Financial Planning firms to take part in a pilot of new 'T Level' qualifications in finance.

The CISI, the professional body for Certified Financial Planners, has signed a deal with Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) to enable its students to take CISI exams during their courses.

The number of Certified Financial Planner professionals worldwide has topped 213,000 for the first time - a 10-fold increase since 1990 when the qualification first went international.

The Personal Finance Society (PFS) has hosted its first in-person graduation ceremony since the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic with more than 330 attending the event.
