Working through our study guide is the essential first step in your AF5 study plan.
The BTS AF5 study guide is a complete replacement for the examining body textbook.
How is the BTS AF5 study guide different?
The BTS AF5 study guide follows a similar format to our well-loved R0 study guides. It is made up of two parts; the main study guide and an accompanying Appendix.
The main study guide contains a logical breakdown of the syllabus and is packed full of examples, exercises and activities, all explained in an ‘adults in conversation’ fashion.
The questions in the BTS AF5 study guide are based on three fact finds. Two of them form the basis of the many practice questions and activities we cover in the guide, and the third is used in a full specimen exam.
The key to exam success is not just reading and learning technical information parrot fashion.Â
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 AF5 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.
Digital study guides are available to access online for a 120-day subscription period. If you think you will need longer than 120 days to complete your study of the unit we advise you to choose the printed version instead.
Access your digital study materials online via your PC or mobile by logging into your BTS account and viewing your Dashboard.
Printed study guides are designed for people who learn best using physical, paper materials and like to highlight sections and make notes on their study materials.
Orders for printed study guides placed before 2pm Monday – Friday are processed and dispatched the same day. Delivery is by local courier and is usually within two working days of dispatch.
Delivery times may vary depending on the destination address.
Free samples of both formats are available in the shop, so you can 'try before you buy'.

Workshops are scheduled in the weeks leading up to each AF5 exam sitting to enable you to focus your preparation on the released fact-find.Â
What is the BTS AF5 workshop like? The workshop concentrates on the key technical knowledge and exam techniques that are essential for an AF5 exam pass. The workshop is scheduled for the week following the release of the AF5 exam fact find. BTS will have analysed the AF5 fact find prior to the workshop, and the workshop day will involve working through model questions and answers to practice key AF5 exam techniques and technical knowledge. You will have the opportunity to ask and discuss questions in a group forum as well, to prepare for the AF5 exam sitting as much as possible. AF5 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.
The workshop is ideal preparation in the lead up to your AF5 exam sitting.
What makes the AF5 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!).
Access to the AF5 fact-find analysis e-Learning module is included in the workshop fee, so workshop attendees don’t need to purchase the e-Learning separately.
Access to the AF5 fact-find analysis for the previous exam sitting (for past paper practise) will be provided when your booking has been confirmed.
The BTS analysis for your sitting will then be automatically added to your account within four days of the release of the fact-find.
You’ll also be able to continue your conversations with your fellow AF5 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.
The day will commence at 09:30 sharp and finish by 16:30, with breaks timetabled for lunch etc throughout the day.
Access to the AF5 fact-find analysis for the previous exam sitting will be provided when your booking has been confirmed.
The BTS analysis for your sitting will then be automatically added to your account within four days of the release of the fact-find.
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 two weeks 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.
