Independent Financial Advisors (IFA): Could you tell me how to become an IFA in the uK?


Question:
I graduated with a computing degree last year, wanting to become a Chartered IFA, does anyone know the route? (preferably self-study)

Answer:
Contact companies that you are interested in working for, ask them if you could train with them, it just might work. Good luck! :)
i don't know
Chartered status will be a long haul but you can qualify as an IFA reasonably quickly. Many firms will take on trainees and pay you a salary whilst you learn. Once you have your "entrance exams" you can move on.

hey, if your going to be independant, you had better figure it out yourself!
