The key to exam success is not just reading and learning technical information parrot fashion.
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 R05 syllabus and practise the required exam techniques through the use of:
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.
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.

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.

Attending a remote workshop can help consolidate the key knowledge required for an exam pass.
What is the BTS R05 workshop like? The workshop concentrates on honing your understanding and application of the heaviest-weighted learning outcomes in the R05 syllabus and the key knowledge areas for a first-time R05 pass such as the different protection products, how they work and any taxation implications. You will also spend time developing your question answering techniques and exam strategy. The CII are renowned for their ‘interesting’ use of language, so part of the road to an exam pass is getting used to this. R05 workshop dates are added to the events calendar throughout the year. If you can’t see a date that works for you, get in touch to ask about more options.
The workshop is ideal either for some last minute exam revision, or if you are at the start of your studies.
What makes the R05 workshop so useful?
A workshop is a live 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 revision materials which include:
slides from the workshop, a set of practice tests, technical revision sheets and a full specimen exam with explained answers, so you continue your learning after the event.
You’ll also be able to continue your conversations with your fellow R05 candidates in our student-led forums.
