Life Insurance Adviser Course
The Life Insurance Adviser Knowledge & Skills course is designed for individuals who require authorisation by an Australian Financial Services License (AFSL) holder to provide advice on regulated Insurance products.
For existing authorised representatives, successful completion of this course allows you to extend your advisory range into Insurance products.
Focused on your Success
We recognise that employers are increasingly looking for candidates who are aware of the challenges of being a successful financial adviser.
Often a candidate’s Qualification is the only evidence that they possess the technical knowledge and skills requirements to conduct themselves professionally as an authorised representative. Unfortunately, this can not be said for all training providers.
With a RG146 Training Australia (formerly known as PS146 Training Australia) qualification you have confidence in the fact that you will be equipped with the skills and knowledge gained from a credible industry-endorsed program that employs best practice assessment standards, helping you graduate at the leading edge of your chosen field.
“RG146 Training Australia simply makes our lives easier. Their professional problem-solving approach allows us to focus on other parts of the business; safe in the knowledge that RG146 graduates have what is takes to provide our clients with sound and accurate advice.” Charles Cavallaro, Professional Development Coordinator, Asgard, Securitor, St George
