The CII and Personal Finance Society are looking for financial advisers and paraplanners to review apprenticeship standards for the profession.
The professional body is working with the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) to find new members for a trailblazer group, which will be tasked with reviewing the financial adviser and paraplanner apprenticeship standards to ensure they are fit for purpose.
Interested participants will ideally be experts in the field of financial advice, have a passion for giving back to the profession and be able to review the current apprenticeship standards to consider whether the knowledge, skills and methods of assessment currently used need to change.
Members of the trailblazer group will need to attend quarterly two-hour meetings until the completion of the review/revision process.
If the review determines revisions are necessary, a working sub-group consisting of five people will be created.
The sub-group would need to meet monthly for a two-hour meeting for a minimum of six months.
Anyone interested in joining the group should email: manuel.thompson-oloko@cii.co.uk
