Triplejump could get boost from new qualification rules

The advice software group has started to offer non-NZQA accredited e-learning modules designed to build knowledge needed by advisers offering personal and business risk. It also offers workshops to complement the online training.

Founder Cecilia Farrow has been working with the IFA and PAA to promote the service to members.

Modules include things such as an overview of policy contracts, estate planning and an introduction to financial statements.

She said it made sense for advisers who could not afford to take weeks out of work to attend lessons in a classroom. “We believed we needed to find a more efficient way to train and develop advisers. It’s not practical to take them out of the workplace for three, four, five weeks.”
