Study Time

It is not possible to give a precise study time required to provide thorough preparation for each exam, but candidates are advised to consider a figure of between 180 and 200 hours per subject.

Candidates in full-time employment are advised not to attempt more than one subject per sitting.

Accredited Training Providers

The SII has introduced a policy of accreditation of training providers to provide clients, firms and candidates with clear information about training providers who meet the SII standards for high quality training provision. The SII works closely with the Accredited Training Providers to ensure that they are kept fully up to date with developments in the subject. The SII is the first Awarding Body in the financial services sector to introduce this process, which monitors the quality of training.

Courses, workbooks and other study aids are also available from our Accredited Training Providers.
