Life insurer TAL will continue to promote the education of financial advisers, offering nearly 100 separate education sessions over the next six months with more than 60 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points accredited to the program.
The sessions and CPD points will be offered by the TAL Risk Academy, which has seen more than 4,000 advisers register for a course since opening its doors in early 2015.
TAL General Manager, Retail Distribution Niall McConville said the academy delivered a 169 sessions – including 112 webinars nationally, 15 Essentials Programs and 42 Master Classes – with a total of 59 CPD points during 2015 and had decided to invest in adviser education to support the professionalism of the industry.
“The TAL Risk Academy was launched in 2015 and is dedicated to building content and tools relevant to advisers. We are proud to have delivered such a comprehensive program last year that benefitted a large portion of the advice community,” McConville said.
“This year we are introducing a new education stream focussed on Client Engagement. This program will help advisers grow their business using modern sales and marketing tools. This is aimed at helping advisers to thrive in an ever-changing landscape.”
TAL said the Risk Academy would offer five new courses in 2016 including a LinkedIn master class presented in partnership with LinkedIn, two new social media webinars and on-demand learning which allows advisers to access courses through the TAL Adviser Centre at any time.
