In Phase 1, Fidelity launched the Fidelity Advisers Institute, which is Fidelity’s centre for excellence, for advisers. This centre focuses on Business Coaching and Practice Management. The Fidelity Advisers Institute will offer comprehensive training and development programmes for advisers free of charge. This will include both e-learning and face-to-face training from a panel of trainers on a range of subjects, including marketing, holistic financial skills and soft skills, while also helping them learn good business practices.

This Module includes all 15 chapters in comprehensive detail and in an easy-to-understand format. It also provides mock exams that evaluate the candidates’ preparedness and identify the topics that need more study.
