• "If you are a busy financial adviser then Steve's exam preparation days are perfect as they focus on the particular techniques that are essential on passing CII exams. The AF5 single day approach is very time effective and the quality of the study material is great. I cannot imagine sitting another exam without having first been on his course. I cannot recommend Steve highly enough.''
