The Chartered Insurance Institute certificate in financial planning is to be taught in six schools in the North-East of England.
From September, financial training and education company Fe4 will be taking its courses into schools to teach the CII certificate, which replaced the Financial Planning Certificate in January.
Courses last 60-80 hours and give school leavers all the education required to enter the financial services profession.
