Hince says Quilter’s programme for students at the level four stage has moved entirely online, “and this was the direction of travel anyway, even prior to the pandemic, while the level six classes will be a hybrid model going forward.”
He says there is significant demand from students to do more online work, as they enjoy the flexibility.
Lowes Financial Academy presently only offers the level four qualification, but the teachers intend to take the level six exams soon and subsequently teach that as well.
Hince says demand is strong among those students at Quilter who have passed the level 4 exam to continue on and take level six, while at the SPW academy, the ultimate aim is to guide the bulk of students to chartered status.
