TAL launches 'on demand' courses
Life insurer, TAL, has partnered with Charles Sturt University to provide accreditation of TAL Risk Academy classes, while also launching "on demand" courses for advisers.
TAL general manager for retail distribution, Niall McConville, said the "on demand" sessions could be accessed at any time with the choice of accreditation from the Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) and the Financial Planning Association (FPA).
The academy was also offering accreditation with the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) continuous professional development (CPD) accreditation plus extended sessions focusing on estate planning and engaging new clients.
"We wanted to reward advisers who are dedicated to quality advice outcomes by providing them with continuous professional development that encompassed a combination of workshop style and webinar sessions," McConville said.
"Importantly, the program is helping advisers grow their business but also future proofing them for future regulation. We are proud to provide this to our advisers."
