Our latest poll stems from this week’s report on the launch of Ensombl’s CPD platform offer.
The proposition from the adviser community network is that its new service will dramatically reduce the time taken to assess the eligibility of proposed CPD content while at the same time significantly expanding the sources from which eligible CPD content can be produced (see: Launch of ‘Game-Changing’ CPD Platform).
While grounded in well-intended reasoning, advisers have anecdotally complained to Riskinfo – not about the 40 hours of continuing professional development they are required to undertake every 12 months – but about the complexities and the drag on their time associated with managing that annual commitment.
CPD administration has been unnecessarily complicated for far too long…
One strong supporter of the new Ensombl offer is Executive Director and Founder at Loyalty Financial Group, Andrew Whelan, who has shared this assessment of the new platform in commenting:
“CPD administration has been unnecessarily complicated for far too long. Ensombl’s CPD platform is a fantastic step forward in simplifying the process and allowing licensees to focus on providing value to advisers rather than forcing them through redundant box-ticking exercises.”
Do your own views accord with this statement? Are you frustrated with the processes attaching to your annual 40-hour learning and development commitment? Or do you and your AFSL have things reasonably under control? Are you, in fact, in a good place when it comes to your current CPD set-up and activities?
As always, tell us what you think and we’ll report back next week…
