Securitor academy set for Feb opening
Monday, 17 November 2008 12:10pm
Asgard Wealth Solution's planning division, Securitor is launching its first paraplanning academy workshop in February.
The paraplanning academy is a blend of self-study distance learning and two three-day face-to-face workshops. Participants will learn the processes behind the paraplanning and assess improvements that can be made during the workshop.
Eligible candidates must be Securitor paraplanners who are writing statements of advice (SoA), comfortable with AdviserNETgain and pass an entrance exam.
Successful applicants will be sent course material in January and the first workshop will be held the following month.
Neil Younger, head of Securitor, said the firm wants to address the shortage of financial advisers by supporting its clients to train and develop talent within their businesses.
Securitor's paraplanning academy was announced at the Securitor conference in April. The Australian Institute of Financial Services & Accounting (AFIA) provides workshop content and administration services to the academy.
Securitor has more than 460 financial advisers under its brand.
