The St. James’s Place Financial Adviser Academy - Joining at Term 2

Will Salmon, BTS Candidate Support and Business Development Adviser, speaks with Godfrey Asare, a graduate of the St. James’s Place Financial Adviser Academy who has since launched his own financial advice firm, FE&F Wealth Management.

In this episode, Godfrey reflects on his transition from a completely different career into financial services. He shares how he managed the demands of studying for his Level 4 Diploma while working full-time as a Senior Food Buyer in the retail sector, and what ultimately inspired him to take the plunge into Term 2 of the SJP Academy after earning his qualification from the LIBF.

He offers a behind-the-scenes look at the Academy experience, from the training and support to the challenges and breakthroughs - and gives thoughtful advice to anyone considering a similar path.

If you’re wondering what life after achieving your Diploma might look like, or you’re curious about the realities of joining the SJP Academy, this conversation offers practical insight and inspiration to help guide your next steps.
