In partnership with OpenLearning, the courses are designed to enhance knowledge and skills within all CPD activity areas in order to meet FASEA requirements, Western Sydney University said in a statement.
Western Sydney University’s dean of the School of Business, Professor Amir Mahmood, said the courses are designed to enhance knowledge and skills and to meet FASEA requirements.
“Since January 2019, all financial advisers are required to participate in development programs to maintain and extend their professional capabilities, knowledge and skills,” Professor Mahmood said.
“Working closely with OpenLearning, Western Sydney University have developed courses that offer up-to-the minute regulatory, technical and ethics training that are an integral part of professional financial advice. Partnering with OpenLearning means we can deliver these essential tools in a seamless manner.”
OpenLearning chief executive Adam Brimo said he was very pleased to partner with Western Sydney University on the design and development of these CPD courses.
“These courses set the benchmark for CPD within the sector through the use of engaging, real-life scenarios, and established community of practice,” Mr Brimo said.
They would want to make their CPD program cheaper and better – or no one will use it.
Since 2019? CPD points have been around a lot longer than that. Surely the professor would know this? Id love to spend all my life insulated in a university never seeing clients, and then write a course with my limited knowledge, and flog it off to all and sundry. Like the ethics course,a cobbled together book of claptrap, whos subject matter and explanations and general gist cannot possibly be believed in, these courses are designed to bore, not teach us anything we can actually use day to day, what a quagmire of conflicted crap.
of course they have – remember that conflicts don’t exist in the fat cat University sector
What do you know, the universities starting to look at every angle to cash in.
