Online passport for advisers
By Nicole Szollos
ASSESSMENT Education Services (AES) has launched an additional service to the group’s Adviser Personal Record Service, its online training and compliance solutions service for advisers and dealer groups, called Passport.
AES technical director James Ryan says Passport is aimed at making PS 146 compliance easier for experienced advisers who are not attracted to the idea of returning to study to demonstrate basic skills.
Advisers can access Passport free from the AES Web site, register with the service and input their qualifications to date.
The system provides a list of ASIC approved courses and also offers a supervised online assessment service for a fee.
