The Chartered Insurance Institute is offering free digital study texts and revision aid updates to personal finance students worried they may be unable to sit their assessment before the end of August 2020.
If a personal finance student is unable to take their assessment before the expiry of their 2019 to 2020 study text, the CII will add a 2020 to 2021 digital study text, together with any revision aids purchased, to their RevisionMate account along with an assessment extension.
This guarantee also extends to study texts and revision aids for those enrolling between now and the current expiry date.
This action comes after following the UK government’s announcement that now is the time for everyone to stop non-essential contact and unnecessary travel, the Chartered Insurance Institute postponed April written examination sittings that were due to take place in April until October.
The latest information about examination sittings can be found on the CII’s Coronavirus update page: https://www.cii.co.uk/news-insight/coronavirus-hub/.
Gill White, Learning and Assessment Director of the Chartered Insurance Institute, said: “The CII takes seriously our role supporting you, your business and the members of the public you serve.
“We want to reduce the worries of our members and make it as easy as possible for them to continue with their professional studies while they follow government guidance to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
“By giving students a free renewal to their digital text I hope we can alleviate at least one concern they may have in these unprecedented times and help them continue to develop the knowledge needed to serve the public as well as advance their professional careers.”
Notes for editors
This guarantee currently only applies to personal finance study texts and a limited number of insurance unit texts.
The end of the academic year for most insurance units is December 2020 and at the current time, assessments are due to take place in October 2020.
