The BTS AF1 study guide is a complete replacement for the examining body textbook.
How is the BTS AF1 study guide different?
The BTS AF1 study guide follows a similar format to our well-loved R0 study guides. It contains a logical breakdown of the syllabus and is packed full of examples, exercises and activities, all explained in an ‘adults in conversation’ fashion.
It will aid your preparation by looking at how to analyse case study details, and how to link your answers to the case study information. We will review how you should structure your answers, and there will be lots of practice on how to lay out your calculations to maximise marks.
The key to exam success is not just reading and learning technical information parrot fashion.
You don’t need to purchase the examining body version of the text book - you can opt to sit the exam stand-alone by selecting ‘assessment only’ on the CII website and then order a BTS Study Guide instead.
Think of your BTS study guide as the first step on your very own revision track. You’ll be able to check your progress throughout, using activities, practice questions and end of chapter tests.
As you work through each chapter, you will gradually cover the full AF1 syllabus and practise the required exam techniques through the use of:

BTS study guides are available in a choice of two formats: printed or digital. The content is the same for both versions, the choice depends on which works best for you.
Digital study guides are designed as an online interactive guide, perfect for people who learn best using on-screen interactive tools. They are fully optimised for mobile and tablet displays meaning you can study on the go. Digital study guides are not pdfs and are not printable or downloadable.

Delivery times may vary depending on the destination address.

Workshops are scheduled in the weeks leading up to each AF1 exam sitting to enable you to focus your preparation on what the examiner is looking for.
What is the BTS AF1 workshop like? The AF1 workshop allows you to benefit from a group environment as we go through some of the key elements of tax and trust planning. You’ll see worked examples and can ask questions to consolidate your studies. 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. AF1 workshop dates are available for each sitting of the exam. If you can’t see a date that works for you, get in touch to ask about more options
Attending a remote workshop is ideal preparation in the lead up to your AF1 exam sitting.
What makes the AF1 workshop so useful?
A workshop is a live online event where you can benefit not just from the BTS trainer but also from working alongside others studying for the same exam.
Discussions within the group can help to reassure you and improve your understanding of key exam areas.
You’ll get out of your day as much as you put in (and more!).
After the workshop you will have 120-days access to a set of digital materials including specimen questions and answer feedback.
Plus, a selection of technical crib sheets to organise your learning.
You’ll also be able to continue your conversations with your fellow AF1 candidates in our student-led forums.
Login to your BTS account and head over to the Careers Zone to access our forums.
Delivered on Zoom. Places are limited.
Each day will commence at 09:30 sharp and finish by 16:30, with breaks timetabled for lunch etc throughout the day.
Digital materials including; slides, specimen questions and technical crib sheets will be shared with you after the workshop.
