This week Sam is joined by Shannon Fox, education and training coordinator at Lowes Financial Management. Whilst going through her own financial planning exams it dawned on Shannon that there should be more support for candidates.
In 2020 Shannon co-led the launch of the Lowes Financial Academy which has an impressive 85% pass rate on getting candidates through the R0 exams for the first time of asking. In this episode, Shannon tells us all about the academy, who it’s for and how they can help you pass your R0 exams to become a level 4 qualified financial planner.
