All new and existing members of the Inspiring Advisers programme will be offered free membership of the IFP for 12 months under a new agreement.

The IFP has formed a partnership with Paul Armson's Inspiring Advisers programme which is aimed at providing members with mutual benefits. The deal has been announced to coincide with Financial Planning Week.

Paul Armson, Founder of Inspiring Advisers said: "Membership of the IFP is a no brainer for any adviser who wants to succeed in the years ahead. The vast majority of members of Inspiring Advisers are already Certified Financial PlannerCM professionals or are working towards this qualification which sets Financial Planners apart.
