ASIC updates training register
The regulator has launched an updated training register to improve the way people in the financial services industry search and obtain information about approved courses and course providers.
Since the release in November 2007 of Regulatory Guide 146: Licensing Training of Financial Product Advisers (RG146), the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has indicated it was undertaking consultation in order to make changes to the register.
The new improvements to the register include a new facility for searching for courses and course providers, an update to the layout of the register and an archived section of the register on de-registered courses.
ASIC acting executive director of regulation John Price said the new functions will make it easier for individuals to search for and retrieve information about courses and course providers.
“The inclusion of additional course content information will also assist individuals in deciding which courses and course providers to select,” he said.
