What membership means

Membership of the PFS gives you access to everything you need to plan and develop your career in financial services.

From entry level to advanced, or put another way, from first job to being the boss, the PFS enables you to plan your way to the top. And help you stay there.

Set yourself apart in these uncertain times

An estimated 6,000 jobs were lost from the UK insurance industry in the first eight months of 2008 says Sandy Scott, CII CEO. “2008’s credit crunch is becoming 2009’s world financial crisis”, he warns. “We cannot be sure what the future will bring, although the underlying financial stability of our major insurers offers good cause for hope”.
 
In these challenging times it’s vital to have the support of a heavyweight organisation. The CII is the world’s leading professional organisation for insurance and financial services. Membership offers you a distinct career advantage and a host of benefits. Your membership counts now more than ever.
 
Stand out for the right reasons:
 
When head counts are being reduced it’s crucial to be among the strongest contenders. CII designations and qualifications can set you apart from the competition. Membership could also place you in a stronger position than ever as the economy starts to recover.
 
Redundancy help:
 
CII members have access to our unique Redundancy Guide to help them cope with the impact of job losses. If the worst happens you want someone authoritative lobbying on your behalf.
