The CII regularly reviews the range of qualifications and learning that it provides, considering factors such as levels of take-up, specific learning content and market needs. Following a recent qualification review, we concluded that several qualification units and the Retail Investment Adviser Re-evaluation Test were no longer a core part of the journey for most of our learners and members and we have decided to withdraw them.
Communications to learners are in progress and will be complete by the end of November. Our website pages and the individual emails to learners will provide further details specific to each unit, but below is a summary of the units and key dates:
