ETITO issues Standard Set C assessment guidance note

27 August 2010

ETITO has issued a guidance note to assist those working in the financial advisory sector who may not have responsibility for their ‘own’ clients in their preparation for assessment for Standard Set C.

The intended audience includes:

• Management / adviser support roles - those who provide a support function to financial advisers and who may be providing guidance and mentoring to them without necessarily having direct client contact or their own client base. Example: Business Development Managers [BDMs].
• Specialists in one or more of the steps in the six-step process - those who, in their day-to-day role, have responsibility for particular steps in the advice process without having responsibility for them all. Example: paraplanners, those responsible for research and strategy, or implementation specialists.
• Trainee advisers - those who are new to the industry and need to build their skills and experience in the advice giving process over time.
