Paraplanner Training

Paraplanners are an integral part of a Financial Planners armoury. They allow the Financial Planner to be more productive with their clients knowing that highly specialised and technical work is being completed with skill and diligence.

For that reason it is important that paraplanners are trained to the highest level in both technical knowledge and the skills required to be as effective as possible.

Technical Knowledge

Technical knowledge will be gained and increased in the following ways:

Examinations

                CII – Certificate in Financial Planning

                CII – Diploma

                CII – Advanced Diploma

                IFP – Certified Financial Planner

 CPD

                 Read industry press

                Attend industry seminars provided by insurance companies and fund managers

Effective Paraplanning

Paraplanning is not just about being able to pass technical exams. To be effective as a paraplanner you also need to be able to have certain attributes, certain interpersonal skills and knowledge which is not just based around a technical CII exam.

From my extensive Financial Services experience, from experience as an adviser understanding what would be required from a paraplanner, and also from experience as a paraplanner and understanding the different requirements different advisers have, I have grown to understand the basic skills and attributes a paraplanner should have to be more effective for both themselves and the advisers they work with.

I have therefore developed the Effective Paraplanner™ course.

Aimed at Paraplanners of all experience and abilities, the course, completed over a 6 month period, will increase the effectiveness of you as a paraplanner, will enhance your abilities as a paraplanner and will ensure that you are a great asset to both you and your employer.

The courses are run at various times and locations throughout the UK, for details of the next course in your area please email courses@paragonparaplanning.com and state which part of the country you are in.
