IFA Career

Hi everyone
Im hoping someone could give me some advice on becoming an IFA.
Iam currently thinking about changing my career and becoming an IFA.
Im thinking about doing the Certificate in Financial Planning through the Chartered Insurance Institute but I dont have any relevant work experience working in Financial Services.
If I completed the CFP on my own would it increase my chances of securing a relevant job on route to becoming an IFA i.e as a paraplanner or trainee IFA?
Ive heard that securing a job within a bank or insurance company is also another option.
I know that the qualifications are changing in 2013.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!
