TAL launches new learning system


TAL has launched a new online learning management system for licensees and advisers using TAL Risk Academy, with the goal of helping students create more personalised learning plans.
The new portal would allow advisers to search on specific knowledge areas via desktop or mobile.
The TAL Risk Academy also added 16 new courses to its curriculum, covering topics such as super and insurance advice, financial underwriting, business management and understanding health conditions.
Beau Riley, TAL head of licensees and partnerships said that the improvements were based on feedback from attendees, and was designed to help advisers grow both their advice and business skills.
Advisers could achieve up to 100 continuing professional development points by completing the whole Risk Academy curriculum. All courses and materials are accredited by the Association of Financial Advisers, Financial Planning Association of Australia and Tax Practitioners Board.
Riley pointed out that with the evolving legislative requirements regarding education, it was an important time for advisers to have access to learning resources.
