Student Awards

RG 146 Training Australia is very proud to recognise the achievements of two of our students:

• Justin Pratt
  Winner - 2008 Para-Planner of the Year Award
• Jo Bean
  Winner - 2008 AFA Student of the Year Award

Both Justin and Jo first had to win state awards, before competing at the national titles to win the Awards in their respective fields.

Justin Pratt - 2008 Para-Planner of the Year

Justin completed his Advanced Diploma in Financial Services (Financial Planning) with RG 146 Training Australia in 2008.

The Paraplanner of the Year awards recognise the vital role and contribution made by paraplanners in the financial planning profession. They were created by prominent fund manager Australian Unity Investments in 2001 to help promote the value of financial planning and the quality of people joining the profession.  Other major sponsors of the 2008 Award are the Financial Planning Association of Australia, Kaplan Professional, and Money Management magazine.

As the National Winner, Justin won a trip for himself to Anaheim, California in October 2009. The prize includes one return airfare, accommodation for 4 nights and registration for one to FPA Anaheim 2009.

Jo Bean - 2008 AFA Student of the Year

Jo completed her Diploma in Financial Services (Financial Planning) with RG146 Training Australia in 2008, where she was recognised for developing exceptional advisory skills through her time of study.

Jo commenced her studies with RG146 Training Australia in 20 Jan 2006 but was sick for some time. When she came back to complete her Diploma of Financial Services, she gave it 110%.

The AFA student of the Year Award, sponsored by Asteron, recognises the top-performing student within the advice industry.

“Given the AFA's push into education, it seemed a logical fit to recognise the best students studying to qualify as financial advisers," Richard Klipin, CEO, Association of Financial Advisers.
