AMP academy expands into Queensland
AMP’s Horizons Financial Planning Academy has expanded its catchment area to include candidates from Queensland for its next intake, the last remaining state to be included.
Director Tim Steele said the decision to expand its market from its April intake was based on “an analysis of where AMP needs new planners and practices and a constant stream of applications”.
“Horizons has evolved to become a truly national program selecting the best candidates from around the country.”
The formal launch and advertising for the next intake will go live within the next two weeks, he said.
There were 26 candidates accepted for the current course, which began on January 12, comprising five from Western Australia, seven from South Australia, six from Victoria and eight from New South Wales.
