This course is recognised by the Institute of Financial Services as meeting the
standards for
on-going CPD required by retail investment advisers.
Statement of Professional Standing (SPS)
In laymen's terms you will need to prove to an accredited body that:

- You have a diploma at level 4 that is RDR compliant.
- You have 35 hours total CPD for the preceding year.
- You have a minimum of 21 hours of structured training out of the 35 hours.
- You have to sign a declaration to guarantee that you have not breached any of the approved person's principles for business.
NEW LEAF ARE A RENOWNED TRAINING PROVIDER
We train all advisers across all permissions.
SPS is only required by those who are approved as CF30 advisers.
The New Leaf fee will be £295.00 + VAT per annum for each adviser.
Including the ifs fee of £75.00 pa (no VAT), which must be paid seperately to the ifs, this is a total of £370.00 or £429.00 inc VAT per adviser. (The total fee is likely to vary when advisers opt for other accredited bodies such as the CII.)
We believe we can deliver the necessary service to enable your advisers to trade safely and within the realms of the RDR and new regulator the FCA. This will be achieved by delivering quality training in a flexible way to enable all advisers to engage with us and obtain SPS annually without excuse for failure.
