Financial Adviser

I am planning to study to become a financial adviser.
I've done some search and I know that there are different certifications such as Cefa, Cemap and FPC.

Which one would you suggest? As I am thinking to study at home, where can I get the materials, and how many exams do I have to pass?

Most importantly, how easy will it be to get in the industry after getting qualified?

Thanks in advance

    Hi. I think you'll probably get a better response if you post this on the Employment and Training Board.

    Or the savings and investments board, there's a few IFAs on there.

    Be sure you use the word 'independent' though, they're sensitive about that over there.
