Learn one strategy.
Use it with a client.
Build your confidence.
Then add the next...
Most professionals don't struggle because they lack knowledge.
They struggle because they lack confidence to use it.
The Live Cohorts bridge the gap between understanding advisory and actually delivering it with clients.
Every week you'll leave knowing exactly what to implement before the following session.

One of the biggest advantages of the Live Cohorts is learning with others who are making exactly the same transition.
You'll hear different perspectives...
Share ideas...
Ask questions...
Celebrate successes...
…and realise you're not the only one facing these challenges.
Many members tell us the conversations between sessions are just as valuable as the teaching itself.
We know you're busy.
That's why every workshop is delivered live online, with full replays available inside your portal.
Attend live whenever you can.
Catch up whenever you need.
Continue progressing at your own pace.

Complete the online training and understand both the financial principles and how to introduce the strategy with clients.
Work through practical examples with Tim Seymour and Deb Halliday and see exactly how the strategy is delivered.
Put your learning into practice using a real client, supported by our resources and guidance.
Demonstrate your implementation, receive feedback and achieve certification for that strategy.

This programme is ideal if...
You want to start offering advisory but don't know where to begin.
You lack confidence leading financial conversations.
You'd like a structured way to build advisory experience.
You prefer implementing one strategy at a time rather than learning everything at once.
You want practical client results, not just theory.
The Financial Strategies Programme is included as part of the APX Advisory Teams Mentorship.
You don't need to become an advisory expert overnight.
You simply need to master your first financial strategy.
Then your second.
Then your third.
Before long, you'll have the confidence, experience and practical skills to become the trusted advisor your clients already need.

Watching training is not the same as changing the way a firm operates.
The mentorship combines flexible learning with live support so that you can understand the principles, apply them in your own practice and build them into the way your team works.

A membership gives you access to content and resources to work through at your own pace. A mentorship combines those resources with a structured learning pathway, live workshops, practical implementation, expert guidance and ongoing support to help you apply what you learn and achieve real results. At APX, we focus on transformation, not just access.
No. The pathway supports people moving from technical delivery into advisory, as well as established advisors who now need to build capability across a team.
Yes. The practice owner or leader completes the programme first to understand and implement the APX methodology. Team members then join and follow the learning pathways relevant to their role.
You attend weekly live implementation workshops designed to help you work through the APX pathway, apply the learning and maintain momentum. Replays are available when you cannot attend live.
Cohorts are planned for:
September to November
February to April
May to July
Yes.. You'll have access to the full Programme and learning library, monthly Financial Strategy Sessions, community, Polly AI Coach and all resources. The live cohorts are designed to accelerate implementation, but the mentorship and support continue all year round.
Each month focuses on one practical financial strategy. You’ll complete the e-learning, attend a live workshop, implement the strategy and submit a case study to demonstrate your understanding. Successful completion earns you the relevant APX badge, certificate or accreditation.
Polly is the APX AI learning coach. She is trained around the APX methodology and can help you explore your learning, think through questions and prepare for implementation. She does not replace professional judgement or the live support available through APX.
It is a collection of client-facing business education courses that firms can make available to their clients. The library helps clients understand key business concepts, supports advisory conversations and reduces the need to answer the same foundational questions repeatedly.
The mentorship has an initial 12-month commitment. After that, it continues on a month-to-month basis.
Cohorts are three times a year and you are free to join any of these whilst your subscription is active. Replays are made available through the APX portal.
Yes the training programmes are CPD accredited
Yes. You can book a discovery call with Tim and Deb to discuss your firm, your goals and whether the mentorship is appropriate for you.
