St. James's Place Financial Adviser Academy Opiniões 

I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the Adviser Academy. Learning alongside fellow students, all in a similar position to me, was invaluable. The skills I learned, during my year in the Academy, I now use everyday in my new career as a financial planner.

The quality of the teaching was brilliant. Many of the teachers are former financial advisers and are able to ensure that their courses are practical. They also used a more academic approach when they were prepping us for specific exams. These weeks were challenging but I certainly got a lot out of them each time.

The size of my group was nice and small (14). I never felt awkward asking questions and dialogue was encouraged during the classes. For me, the Academy cultivated a supportive atmosphere. Our group were encouraged to work together to accomplish group tasks and, at certain times, we'd give presentations to the whole group.

My advice to anyone thinking of joining would be to stay ahead of the exam and study schedule. I only needed to pass one exam to be accepted onto this academy (RO1). This is a relatively easy exam compared with the exams that follow. Passing one or two more exams before starting the academy would have helped me take the pressure off.

Now that I've graduated from the Academy, I still feel supported by the company and I'm looking forward to forging this new career.

The SJP Financial Adviser Academy helped me transition from a completely different industry and gave me all to the training, skills and support I needed to become a confident and competent Financial Adviser. I feel very proud to be part of the SJP family and that I am now able to help people with their financial planning - all of which wouldn't have been possible without the Adviser Academy

I really enjoyed my time in the St James’s Place Academy. They provided study material to get through the exams efficiently as well as group training sessions in Manchester. The group of people in my intake were all from different backgrounds and it was great to get to know everyone during my time in the academy. They also provide continuous support following being appointed as an adviser. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to become a financial adviser or paraplanner.
