Having recently completed the RPA qualification I now have a greater and more in depth understanding of the ever changing industry. I now feel I have the knowledge to progress even further. The LIA resources were really helpful in helping me pass exams. I still refer to them in my daily work life!

I was absolutely delighted to have passed my QFA exams in 2020 and my PTP exam in 2021. The learning outcomes are very industry focused and the knowledge I have gained has been very relevant to my role and given me a confidence boost. I found LIA’s learning resources very accessible. There are multiple pre-recorded lectures and exam papers available. The study guide is also a great tool. LIA provided a lot of support and even with remote learning they held a virtual lecture where we were given the opportunity to ask any questions we had.
