No matter which option you choose, you get these essentials
Every question about Vennlisk, answered in seconds.
FinnAI is trained on our Vennlisk pre-seen analysis and industry analysis, so alongside your lead tutor you always have someone to ask, day or night. It explains, tests you and writes it up as an exam answer, and it pushes you to think rather than just handing you answers.
Ask me anything about Vennlisk, the numbers, or how to answer the exam.
Probably not all 5,000, but AI chatbots could reduce the number of agents needed and change their roles significantly.
Vennlisk handles inbound calls across complex sectors such as insurance, healthcare, banking and public services. Many calls require:
The case specifically notes that chatbots may struggle with complex interactions, fail to interpret emotions and provide incorrect advice if their training data is not kept accurate.
The more realistic outcome is a hybrid model:
Examiner point: do not write “AI will replace all agents”. Explain which activities are automatable, which require human judgement, and how the recommendation supports Vennlisk’s strategy and values.
Try writing a two-sentence recommendation to the Board: should Vennlisk adopt chatbots now, and what safeguard would you make essential?
Real answers from FinnAI, shortened to fit. You can ask anything about Vennlisk, the call centre industry, or how to apply E3, P3 and F3 to the case.
FinnAI Neither is the outright winner. Ringcoll is growing revenue faster, but its costs are growing even faster. Its revenue increased by 9.89%, while cost of goods sold increased by 13.64%. Overall judgement: Vennlisk is currently the better turnaround/improvement story, but Ringcoll remains the stronger financially positioned competitor.
FinnAI Not fully. The Board’s skills assessment identifies no explicit cybersecurity specialist, either among the executive directors or the non-executive directors. There is also no director explicitly allocated overall responsibility for risk management. This could create confusion during a fast-moving breach. It should immediately obtain independent cyber, legal and forensic advice, clarify executive responsibility, and ensure that incident-response and recovery plans are tested.
FinnAI Potentially, but not as an immediate full relocation. Vennlisk should first test whether lower costs would outweigh the damage to its quality-based differentiation. Keep complex, sensitive and high-value calls in Westland. Pilot a carefully selected overseas centre for routine, standardised calls. Your turn: write one paragraph applying SFA (Suitability, Feasibility and Acceptability) to this hybrid strategy, and I can mark it.
Every answer ends with four buttons.
Adds the detail an exam answer would need.
The same idea again, in the simplest terms.
Two exam-style questions, one at a time, checked when you answer.
Rewritten and structured the way the examiner rewards.
Or ask in your own words: explain it like I'm five, give me an acronym to remember it, or tell it as a short story so it sticks.
Ask anything and get an answer straight away.

All our live classes are recorded and uploaded to the platform within 24 hours, so you can learn at your own pace.
Our materials help to give additional mock practice and assurance to students that are on the FLP route. The structured support and step by step live guidance we provide is what students generally value.

This is also ideal if you're returning after a study break and need to refresh your knowledge efficiently.

Requirements to qualify for the pass guarantee:

Our mock tests are unique. We start with sets of 2 questions each (1.5 hours) so you get used to the pattern and learn from mistakes. Your answers are marked and returned with corrections, then you receive another set. This process repeats until you're writing full 3-hour mock exams just like the real thing. We create a platform for you to learn progressively, not just test you.
Live cohort classes typically run for 10-11 sessions. November 2026 cohort begins in September 2026, and February 2027 cohort begins in December 2026. You'll receive the exact schedule upon enrollment.

Note: SCS Revision Course is available as an add-on for both On Demand and Full Case Study packs. It's only included free with the 1:1 Coaching Pack.
If you value flexibility and prefer self-paced learning, On Demand is great. If you want accountability and live interaction, consider upgrading.
If you've attempted the exam before and feel confident with the core concepts, the On Demand pack gives you the flexibility to focus on mock practice at your own pace. However, if you'd benefit from structured live sessions, more mocks, and the accountability of a cohort, consider the Full Case Study pack.
The SCS Revision Course is available as an add-on after purchasing the On Demand Pack. Once enrolled, you'll see the option to add it to your account. Note: It's only included free with the 1:1 Coaching Pack.
Live classes run twice a week during the cohort period (typically 10-11 sessions before the exam). Each session is about 1 hour long.

Your lead tutor
In the live classes I’ll show you exactly what earns marks: how to use the pre-seen, how to plan your time, and how to structure answers the way the examiner rewards. Every class will challenge you, so you walk into the exam with a clear framework and real confidence.
Dev is a king. He definitely knows his stuff. Finntutors marking structure is on par with CIMA Marking standards.
Devansh and his team spend a considerable amount of time helping students understand topics, approach questions, structure their answers, understand what earns or loses marks.
Eleven live classes across four phases, built for the Strategic Case Study. Each one moves you further from building knowledge towards writing answers that actually earn marks.
An overview of the Strategic Case Study exam, the course structure and how you should approach your preparation. We introduce the important topic list, the key topics from E3, P3 and F3 that keep coming up, so you can start by building your own technical understanding.
We introduce the industry and the pre-seen company, and explain how you should approach the material. The detailed pre-seen analysis is made available so you can start building strong company and industry knowledge.
FinnAI is made available along with a recorded walkthrough showing you how to use it properly for case study preparation. The important topic list from Class 1 comes back, this time with specific FinnAI prompts, so you can revise each topic and apply it directly to the pre-seen company.
You start working with mock questions and move from building knowledge into exam application. You learn how to read the scenario, identify what the task is actually asking, and begin developing exam-standard answers.
We review your first set of mock answers in class and discuss the common strengths and weaknesses. Then we introduce the Finntutors planning system, so you can quickly break down the requirement and plan your answer before you start writing.
We review the next mock and introduce the Finntutors detailed writing system to improve the depth and application of every point. You also receive the Command Verbs PDF and learn why answering the exact verb is critical in CIMA case study exams.
We keep reviewing mock answers, this time with the focus on structure. You see how better sub-headings keep an answer organised, keep it tied to the requirement and make it far easier for the examiner to follow. Every class sharpens your case study mindset and refines your writing style.
We solve a live mock in class with your tutor so you can see exactly where the focus should go. An interactive class built for everyone to take part in.
While reviewing the next mock set, we show you the marking guide behind it. You see where the marks actually come from, connected to CIMA's own examiner marking guidance, so you understand the difference between simply writing more and writing what earns marks.
We read and discuss the latest relevant SCS examiner reports in class. The focus is on the mistakes CIMA identifies again and again, why candidates lose marks, and what you should do differently in your own exam. You will see the same patterns inside our mock corrections.
Get familiar with the Pearson VUE exam system and receive your personalised study timetable for exam week. This is where you complete all 25 mock questions, divided set by set. You start with one question exams to build confidence, move to two question exams to refine your writing style, and finish with full three hour exams to get properly exam ready.

Thanks to the Finntutors team for their constant support!"
