Tribeca moves into broker accreditation with ASX deal

TheAustralian Stock Exchange(ASX) has outsourced the administration of its accreditation regimes toTribeca Learning(previously Integratec).

The ASX’s range of accreditation programs includes options and warrants adviser accreditation, for which more than 2000 advisers are currently registered. Specialist examinations for responsible executives of broking firms are also conducted.

ASX chief operating officer Colin Scully says, “The combination of ASX content expertise and Tribeca’s efficient and user-friendly delivery platform should significantly improve the service and convenience to our customers.”

The announcement follows closely on the heels of Tribeca revealing its plans to expand its education and compliance services from the “relatively narrow” financial planning market into the stock, mortgage, insurance broking, accounting and banking industries.

Tribeca chief operating officer John Prowse says, “Administration of the ASX accreditation regime provides us with a very welcome opportunity to further develop the services we provide to the stockbroking industry.”

Last week Tribeca completed the final stage of integration for the six business units acquired over the past three years, with all now operating under the Tribeca brand.

The groups included Paraplanning Professionals, Investment Training College, THP Services and Financial Planning Resources, which had operated under the banners of Integratec and Resnik Communications.
