The AF5 Financial Planning Process is the mandatory unit of the CII’s Advanced Diploma in Financial Planning.
It’s an exam that focusses on the advice process, so is similar to the level 4 R06 exam, but AF5 asks questions relating to one fact find rather than two shorter case studies. To pass AF5, you’ll need to demonstrate detailed analysis and critical evaluation skills, as you would expect for a level 6 exam.

The first step in your AF5 preparation is to work through our study guide (which is unique in the marketplace).
This gradually walks you through the exam syllabus and the questions styles that have regularly appeared in past AF5 papers. It will teach you the foundations of the correct question answering techniques, which are so important to achieve a first-time exam pass.
BTS run a remote one-day workshop based on the actual exam fact find.
This day walks you through some possible fact find questions and suggested answers, and covers off some of the technical areas that may appear in your exam. 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.
BTS produce a full e-Learning analysis of all the possible questions and answers that we think could be examined on the relevant AF5 fact find.
We include hints and tips after each question debrief, plus include relevant crib sheets on possible technical areas that could be examined.
BTS AF5 designers start work on this analysis the minute the exam fact find is released. This enables the module to be available for purchase within days of the CII publishing the fact find for the exam.
Below, you will find a range of recent articles providing insights, help and advice for this exam, we hope you find these useful. Remember if you have any questions on your journey feel free to get in touch with the BTS support team.
