New player says its gaining ground

It says meeting continuing professional development (CPD) obligations under The Code of Professional Conduct for Financial Advice Services – Standard 9 has now become a key focus for both financial advisers and financial advice providers (FAPs).

Long established as the leading financial services CPD provider in Australia for over 30 years, Kaplan Professional has designed a complete and purpose-built continuing education offering for New Zealand, with Massey University, which it says is quickly gaining traction.

“In Australia, we have nearly 45,000 subscribers across over 2,500 corporate organisations on our Ontrack platform,” said Kaplan Professional chief executive Brian Knight.

“We had more than 400,000 completions of digital modules across our financial adviser and mortgage broking and credit content libraries in 2022, which is an increase of almost 15% on the previous year – we think this type of take-up will follow in New Zealand.”
