The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) has unveiled plans to launch a new framework for financial planning examinations this autumn, following negative feedback surrounding the publication of the Skills Council for Financial Services (SCFS) official exam review update.
The CII is to consult on the detail of the framework with its 20 leading customers within the next couple of weeks, and a formal submission will then be made to the SCFS and Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) for accreditation and inclusion in the list of appropriate examinations.
If everything goes as planned, it will be launched in October 2004, the CII says - which at present is at least two years ahead of the SCFS's latest proposals.
Sandy Scott, CII director general, says: "We are determined to provide a solution that meets the needs of the industry, the student and most importantly, the consumer."
