Most of the IFAs i know are not sitting R06 but doing (or have done) one of the J0x exams instead (j05 seems to be most popular). So, can't help I'm afraid.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0

I passed the Level 4 Diploma through IFS at the beginning of the year. It carries all the RDR requirements but i'm not sure how it compares to the RO6. If I can be of any help let me know.I've worked in the Financial Services industry for the last 25 years. When posting on this forum I am not providing any financial advice or representing anyone but simply posting my own personal views. Always make sure you seek suitable Financial Advice from an authorised professional based on your own personal needs and objectives.0

The ifs Diploma is a blight on the qualifications landscape, and I have no idea at all how it came to have level 4 status.
As to R06, get in touch with Aviva. They have learning centres up and down the country delivering presentations and classes for people on what questions the expect will come up from the case studies. I used them when I was doing some R0 exams for gap-fill in the summer and they were excellent.I am an Independent Financial AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as an Independent Financial Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

I have friends who have sat this qualification and compared to the exams I have been sitting and passing it seems like a walk in the park!
He could not believe the level of detail R02 investments went into, for me the IFS seems more like the CF/Cefa papers?0 -
Indeed. And a case study element that other people do on behalf of the candidate.......
