Congratulations to financial adviser Aiden Boucher who’s passed the Chartered Insurance Institute’s financial planning qualification.

He started studying for it in January 2020 and passed his first exam the following month, just before the pandemic struck.
 
Covid meant his next exam was not taken until 2021 and his final one was in April.

He was “very pleased” to have passed.

“Receiving the designated letters after my name made all the early mornings and late evenings revising worth it,” Aiden said.

“I am to continue with additional examinations in the future to gain more knowledge on the wide range of aspects within financial advising as a whole.”

His exam success means, in a highly regulated sector, he no longer needs to be in the background.  

 “The qualification means I can continue learning and developing on the job within a people-facing role, advising clients personally of their best interests.”

Aiden, a former pupil of attended St Bede’s Academy and John Leggott College, joined RNS Independent Financial Advisers in 2017. He has also completed accountancy exams.
