The Certificate in Financial Studies provides a comprehensive introduction to personal finance. CeFS develops the knowledge and skills required for you to make informed financial decisions by introducing you to the risks and challenges involved in personal finance, provides the tools for effective financial planning and allows you to identify the right financial solutions (products) to an individual’s circumstances. Year 2 Diploma in Financial Studies (DipFS) - Upon successful completion of Year 1 which is the equivalent of an AS-Level, students can choose to continue with the Diploma in Financial Studies in Year 2. Year 1 and Year 2 exam scores are then combined for the final grade that is equivalent of one full A Level. • Unit 3 - Sustainability of an individual’s finances • Unit 4 - Sustainability of the financial services system
You must meet the specific requirements for the subject and, as a minimum, achieve at least 5 GCSEs at level 5 or above, including English and Maths. Well-developed writing techniques and mathematical ability are required for this demanding course.
Each unit is assessed through a combination of Multiple Choice Questions (Part A) and a written paper (Part B) that includes some questions based on a pre-released case study and the rest as stand-alone non-case study questions. Each unit is scored out of 100 marks per unit. The pass mark for Part A will be 40% (14/35) of the raw marks. The pass mark for Part B will be set for each session to reflect any small variations in question paper difficulty. To pass a unit, students must achieve the minimum pass mark for both part A and part B. A resit exam is available for both parts A and B of each Unit. The highest score of either sitting is used in the overall grading.
