Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a very important part of an adviser’s life. At RG 146 Training Australia , we pride ourselves on offering practical, skills-based courses and our CPD program is an extension of this offering.
CPD Central is our online learning system which has been custom-built to help financial services professionals meet and manage their CPD needs as determined by:
- Legislation (ASIC’s RG 146 mandates continual adviser training under the Financial Services Reform regime);
- Industry groups (continuing membership may hinge on meeting CPD requirements);
- Licensees / Responsible Officers (as part of ongoing business compliance and best practice); and
- Individual desire to stay ahead in the competitive marketplace.
Advantages of Online Learning
Designed to supplement our quarterly publication, Journal of Financial Advice, subscribers can easily access and navigate CPD Central to:
- Read online articles and undertake the CPD assessments.
- Design and oversee training plans for advisers (on an individual or group basis) and monitor any learning gaps.
- Upload and track all external training events.
This style of learning will suit:
- Large dealer groups where the adviser network is separated geographically and unable to attend regular in-house training.
- Individuals who like to learn in their own time and at their own pace.
- Time-pressed advisers who like the convenience of accessing their training either on the road, in between appointments or after business hours, to enhance their personal studies.
- Those who are unable, or too busy, to maintain hard-copy records. Delegate all your training and reporting requirements to CPD Central – then access whenever you need it.
Quality CPD Content
Our CPD content is written by industry experts and respected academics. Our Senior Publications Editor is in constant consultation with the grassroots of the financial services industry to identify your needs, and then provide relevant resources to enhance your skills and knowledge.
Each article is aligned to a RG 146 competency area to help advisers meet their compliance requirements. Case studies and diagrams are used extensively so that advisers can analyse technical scenarios from a practical viewpoint.
This approach speaks directly to industry, as evidenced by:
- Dealer groups requesting permission to re-publish our articles in their internal communications.
- Australian and New Zealand media reporting on research featured in our Journal.
t goes without saying that we provide topical, relevant and up-to-date content of great interest to the financial services industry.
Guaranteed CPD Accreditation – FPA & AFA
Don’t want to waste your time with non-accredited CPD content? You won’t. All CPD Central articleshave been officially accredited by the Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) and the Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA). We continue to work with these industry groups to provide you with meaningful and holistic CPD solutions.
CPD point breakdowns and accreditation numbers are contained within the CPD Program section of each Journal.
CPD Assessment
There are four multiple-choice questions pertaining to each CPD article. Subscribers can undertake the assessment using any of the following methods:

- fax the Journal answer-sheet to 1300 366 170; or
