We’ve firmed up our association with the Graduate Institute of Financial Sciences (GIFS) to recognise that team as one of our preferred training providers for two critical aspects that have bearing on your career progression.
Let’s talk firstly about GIFS’ online RE5 training. We are aware of the challenges experienced by industry professionals with passing the RE5 exam. The time in which you need to complete the training and then take a challenging exam often lead to a high failure rate. The IIWC is mindful that your time is valuable, which is why we’ve gone with GIFS as an industry-leading education provider for those of us in financial services and insurance.
GIFS’ RE5 Online Workshop includes:
​
-
Up to date study material
And the team takes it even further. The material is delivered in eight topics that cover the FAIS Act for easing downloading and printing.
​
-
Support videos
There are four support videos where an industry expert will guide you through the content of the study guides.
​
-
Trial run for the main exam
There are five mock exams that you will have access to in order to prepare.
