A good coursework response does not simply name the regulators: it explains which risk or outcome falls within each remit, how dual regulation affects governance and how management receives evidence that requirements are being met.

CII AF6 preparation built for coursework
AF6 is assessed through three written coursework assignments. Strong submissions must apply regulation, risk, supervision, competence and leadership concepts to the stated business scenario, evaluate alternatives and support a clear conclusion with coherent evidence.
This course organises the six official study-text chapters into detailed summaries, 100 active-recall flashcards, a 94-item reference sheet and a source-grounded AI tutor. Coverage runs from the regulatory and business environment through operational risk, supervisory governance, senior-manager competence, leadership and culture.
Practise analysis before you write
The five platform drills contain 50 workplace scenarios. They ask you to select the strongest diagnosis, governance response, evidence source or evaluation. They are coursework-planning exercises, not replicas of the three official assignments and not predicted coursework grades.
