RPL pricing (1 March 2026 onwards)

Example 1: (M05) Insurance law exemption towards CII insurance qualifications

If you are awarded an exemption from CII unit (M05) Insurance law (25 Diploma-level credits towards CII insurance qualifications) and you are a member based in the UK, the price you will pay depends on the type of qualification you have completed. For a:

1. law degree (Band one), the price of this exemption will be 50% of the Enrolment* price (£518), i.e. £259.00 (appears as RPL Path 1 on payment receipt)
2. localised version of CII unit M05 awarded by a CII affiliated institute (Band two), the price of this exemption will be 20% of the Enrolment* price (£518), i.e. £103.60 (appears as RPL Path 2 on payment receipt).

Example 2: (R01) Financial services regulation and ethics exemption towards CII personal finance qualifications

If you are a Personal Finance Society member based in the UK and you have completed an equivalent qualification to the Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning, you would pay 20% of the Enrolment* price for R01.

This lower (Band two) price recognises that you have already invested time and resources in studying and achieving the same learning outcomes as within the CII qualification unit, demonstrated by passing an equivalent assessment to the (R01) Financial services regulation and ethics unit.

 

Multiple exemptions

Many candidates receive multiple exemptions. The pricing for each exemption (or set of non unit-specific credits) follows the same approach.

*The Enrolment price is the purchase price for CII qualification units. It is displayed on the unit pages at www.cii.co.uk/qualifications
