Sesame and Bankhall members now have access to a qualifications matrix. It is designed to help guide advisers through the different routes available.

The online matrix includes details of the approved Retail Distribution Review (RDR) qualifications announced by the FSA in its consultation paper 10/14. It has been created to enable advisers to compare ‘at a glance’ the range of options available, along with the total cost and amount of study hours recommended to achieve them.

Stephen Young, chief operating officer for Sesame Bankhall Group, said: “Different examinations will suit different people and the key for advisers is to make an informed decision about which route is right for them. Our comprehensive qualifications matrix is a one-stop shop that guides advisers through the exam options available
