STEP Professional Postgraduate Diploma in Private Wealth Advising

 

As a result of the situation relating to COVID-19, the 2021 intake (starting April 2020) for the STEP Professional Postgraduate Diploma in Private Wealth Advising has been withdrawn from our programme calendar. Over the coming months, CLTI and STEP will be taking the opportunity to review the overall design and delivery, ahead of the next intake (due to begin in November 2020) to ensure students and applicants from around the world can gain access to this qualification and receive an interactive, innovative learning experience. We anticipate the new programme(s) will be available at the end of 2020 for enrolment. Please register your interest in the new programme and receive updates to the development by completing our interest form below.
