Since the TAL Risk Academy began 10 years ago the education platform has supported the careers of financial advisers, professional year candidates, and practice staff.
In that time the academy has seen more than 118,000 enrolments across hundreds of courses, awarded 185,483 CPD points, and achieved an average adviser satisfaction score of 4.6 out of 5.
Beau Riley, GM, Retail Sales & New Business, says: “We’ve always been focused on equipping advisers with the knowledge and skills they need to keep pace with industry and regulatory changes – along with Australians’ evolving advice needs.
“Our program is built around adviser feedback, ensuring our course offerings reflect what advisers have told us they need most to provide their clients with relevant, valuable advice.”
The academy’s 2025 program includes five streams:
- Foundations
- Professional Year
- Advice
- Business Management
- Working with TAL
A new addition to the academy’s offering this year is for client support staff and paraplanners, to help companies streamline admin and strengthening retention conversations.
The program for 2025 will also be the first hosted on a new platform that, says TAL, makes it easier to find course content, track CPD points, and complete courses on the go with mobile access.
