Summary of review and consultation process

This qualification was registered in May 2024 as a result of a review. It was later identified that the strategic purpose statement needed amendment to avoid any misinterpretation that this qualification would be suitable for learners who were currently providing regulated financial advice. It is not. Individuals are required to be credentialed before any advice is given.

 

Main changes resulting from the review process

The Strategic Purpose Statement has been amended from: This qualification is suitable for individuals who intend on or are currently providing regulated financial advice to clients or potential clients, to: This qualification is suitable for individuals who intend to provide regulated financial advice to clients or potential clients.  

The qualification was republished with no version change and no change to next review date.

The update will take effect immediately.
