Candidate Update

The Securities & Investment Institute is dedicated to keeping candidates up-to-date with changes within the financial services industry in areas relating to Institute examinations and workbooks.

The Institute’s new, free of charge, Candidate Update area will provide a central resource for the latest industry developments and exam changes as they relate to each SII exam and workbook and will keep candidates and those working in the industry updated. This will provide greater clarity on instances where a 'significant' industry change impacts on a syllabus that SII is not in a position to reflect immediately in the workbook or the exam. Each workbook/exam has its own link which details the latest changes and how they affect your study
