About the workshop
The AF4 remote workshop concentrates on the key technical knowledge and exam techniques that are essential for an AF4 exam pass.
The workshop will run 9:30am – 4:30pm on both days. Delivered on Zoom.
Places are limited to 12 attendees.
The AF4 exam tests your ability to demonstrate and apply your technical knowledge of investment planning. It builds on the core R02 knowledge, and requires you to be able to analyse case study details, and critically appraise the financial options available to the clients. Your answers need to be clear, concise, precise, and related to the case study scenarios. You’ll need to be able to evaluate the complex needs of clients and recommend solutions across the learning outcomes.
The AF4 workshop allows you to benefit from a group environment where we go through some of the key elements of tax and trusts. You’ll see worked examples and can ask questions to consolidate your studies as we move towards the final revision period.
You will be amazed at what you learn by being part of the workshop group and ‘having a go’ at the questions.
Technical areas that may come up will be covered and revised, and group discussions around possible questions and answers will help a lot.
Bear in mind, these are pre-exam prep workshops, and you’ll need to have completed the study guide in advance. We can’t fit 150 hours of study and cover the entire syllabus in 2-days.
We’re good, but not that good!

Kick-start Webinar – 1pm Friday 16th June 2023
Attend a FREE 1-hour webinar covering what the key challenges are with the exam, how to plan and overcome these and what a ‘fit for purpose’ study plan looks like. We will look at the common mistakes candidates make both in their exam preparation and performance on the day to help you kick-start your study in the best way.
You’ll need to register to watch the live webinar or you can catch up with the recording afterwards.

Recommended prior learning
Just like any other CII exam, some self-study first is required. It is not just a question of attending a workshop and practising possible exam questions. Self-study across different technical areas is a must, to give you the best possible chance of a pass.
Order your copy of the BTS AF4 Study Guide here.
We also recommend candidates complete in exam conditions and self-mark as many CII AF4 past-papers as possible.
Cancellation Policy:
The viability of a workshop is based on minimum delegate numbers. If you need to cancel your space, please let us know in writing as soon as possible and no later than one week prior to the start date. Cancellations after this point will not be refunded unless a replacement delegate can be found, as this would impact on the course for your fellow delegates. If BTS cancels the workshop, the cost of attending the workshop will be refunded in full.
