The Academy is a blend of digital, classroom, and practical learning to support you throughout your journey to becoming a fully-qualified adviser.

To achieve this, for the first six months of the programme, your week will consist of:

  • three days of classroom learning with end of module assessments
  • one day’s experience within a business unit and/or attending meetings with a consultant

We will support you to complete at least four R0 exams within the first six months of the programme, including R06. From months six to ten, we expect you to pass the rest of the R0 exams, obtaining your CII Diploma.
