2. Maintaining your R01 to R05 knowledge through CPD
To ensure that all our users are fully prepared for the CII’s new examination syllabus, which started in September 2018, we carried out extensive updates across all of our online materials. The most obvious changes made throughout the materials are the references to the tax year (2018/19), the new tax rates and allowances and the re-working of all associated example calculations and questions.

However, due to some changes in taxation and other laws, there are certain changes which create new impacts on a number of areas important to the provision of advice.

You can view the main changes to the chapter sections for the R01 to R05 online courses HERE.

The information is covered in our accredited CPD system. All changes have also been reflected in the chapter assessments and the gap analysis assessments.

Although throughout the online courses there are many other minor amendments, as a part of your ongoing CPD it is recommended that you fully familiarise yourself with these major changes to ensure that your knowledge and understanding is fully up-to-date. By using the Wizard Learning accredited CPD system you will have access not only to all these updated courses but also all the learning materials for all of these diploma courses. These can be used at any time to refresh your knowledge of specific areas, and by carrying out gap analysis assessments over the year from each of the subjects as a part of your overall CPD plan, you can use the assessment results to identify areas of weakness against the learning outcomes and plan future CPD activities.
