    There do seem alot of qualifications out there with various benefits, i have been to an open evening of the CFA at 7city but look very tricky and lots of hard work.

    May i ask what is the J06? ive looked on the website but still wanted to hear it from another point of view if possible, is it hard? what benefits has it presented?

    It's not too hard really. There's a lot of material to learn, but if you're interested in investments it should interesting enough to keep you working at it until you're good enough to pass it. Definitely don't underestimate it, though, as it has one of the lowest pass rates in the Diploma.

    In terms of benefits, relatively few. It gives a generally better understanding of a few aspects of the job, but for the most part it's just a step towards a mandatory qualification.
    Thank you for all information up to now:)

    What are your aspirations aegis? would you like work more in investment? or stick to IFA?

    At the moment I'm thinking of sticking with the IFA role, but you never know.
