Discover St. James's Place Financial Adviser Academy

Changing careers may sound daunting but with the St. James’s Place Academy, we’ve supported hundreds of people just like you to make the smooth transition to becoming a successful financial adviser.

At this event, you will have the opportunity to hear about the advice profession, the role of a financial adviser, how we help clients, what our Academy programme covers and how we support you. We’ll share with you some common attributes of successful financial advisers and some hints and tips about how to approach this career change. We’ll explain our business model to you and you will also hear from two of our advisers who have recently completed the programme so you can understand what it’s like to become a financial adviser from people who have been in exactly your position. They will describe their day-to-day role, and how the St. James’s Place Academy helped them establish their new career. We will explain the flexible options available to support those seeking to start their own financial planning business, as well as opportunities for those who want to explore becoming a professional Adviser for an established St. James’s Place Practice.

You’ll have the chance to meet the St. James’s Place Academy team and alumni virtually, and we’ll seek to answer any questions you have around retraining with the Academy.
