Study Skills Training

Improve your study skills

Following the Retail Distribution Review, the majority of financial advisers face the prospect of having to take further professional examinations. For many, studying for, preparing and sitting examinations can be a challenging and stressful process - especially since this often needs to be balanced with home and work life.

To help advisers through this process, AXA Wealth, New Model Business Academy, Partnership, Prudential and Zurich are co-sponsoring the Genius Material Learning Programme, which focuses on how to study and take examinations.

The key objectives for the programme are to help advisers to:

• Learn essential study skills
• Maximise information retention
• Optimise use of time
• Gain examination success

What the programme offers

• Membership website
• 16 different eBooks - each member will receive the best one to suit their learning style as ascertained from an online questionnaire
• Weekly online discussion forums to focus on learning techniques, key subjects and answer your questions
• Additional email and telephone support
• Online videos to improve understanding
• Additional material such as self-hypnosis audios to deal with additional challenges such as stress, exam nerves, anxiety and lack of sleep
• A unique study calendar to maximise information retention - to help us hold onto the 80% of information which most people forget within 2 weeks of learning and to make the whole process much simpler!
