Six new courses are being introduced in TAL Risk Academy’s tailored course program for July to December 2023.
Announcing the financial adviser education platform’s course guide for the second half of the year, the Australian life insurer said the program builds on strong uptake in January to June. The Ethics Month courses in May, for instance, saw the enrolment of more than 1,700 advisers.
“Our new, industry-first masterclass, Advice in the Postmodern World, is a unique opportunity to hear from the TAL technical team as they examine the recommendations of the Quality of Advice Review and its impacts on advisers,” TAL general manager for retail sales and new business Beau Riley said in an emailed release.
“While the Future of Insurance Webinar will be the first time we are joined by CALI (Council of Australian Life Insurers) CEO, Christine Cupitt, to discuss the future of the life insurance industry.”
The course that features Cupitt will take place this month, to be followed in August by nationwide face-to-face masterclasses. The mental health series, meanwhile, will return in September. Additionally, the monthly AskAnExpert series will also continue.
“In an era of technological advancements and regulatory changes, our program is designed to empower advisers with the latest industry knowledge, best practices, and risk management strategies to support them to provide exceptional advice and value to their clients,” Riley said.
The general manager highlighted that TAL Risk Academy continues to support advisers amid a dynamic financial advice landscape through interactive workshops, online resources, and networking opportunities.
“At TAL, our ambition is to make life insurance better understood and valued, and our partnership with advisers is important to achieving that, while ensuring more Australians have the right protection in place,” Riley said.
“We have collaborated with industry experts to develop a program that encompasses a wide range of topics so that TAL Risk Academy can serve as a cornerstone in fulfilling the education needs of advisers, including meeting their CPD (continuing professional development) hour requirements.”
