RO1 Revision Day
Giles Hewitt is a highly experienced F.S professional who combined his knowledge gained in previous careers as both a Banker and then Financial Adviser and coupled this with a professional teaching qualification to establish my own highly successful training company for the last 15 years. As the course is in just 1 day, you will understand we cannot cover all the RO1 syllabus and as such we will focus on the key areas where the most marks are coming from - and that is chapters 4-8 which centres on the topic Regulation.

View event detailsVulnerable Clients - Devon
The FCA have found following a thematic review that Vulnerable Customers are often not treated fairly. In fact, many insurers pricing models have taken significant advantage of these customers, often the more vulnerable the customer the more the insurers has loaded rates at renewal. Some of the UK’s largest institutions have been guilty of proactively targeting these individuals and the regulator has had enough of insurers and brokers balancing their books on the most vulnerable in society.
