IntegraTec is challenging the FPA’s Diploma of Financial Planning (DFP) course af-ter its latest course gained the go ahead from ASIC and Vocational Education and Training Advisory Board (VETAB).
Integratec extensively revised its DFP1 equivalent entry level competencies course to meet new competency standards issued by ASIC. All financial service advisers must reach these standards.
IntegraTec General Manager John Prowse says the group supports ASIC’s moves to provide the industry with clear educational standards.
"We believe our course is one of the least expensive and most convenient ways for an adviser to meet the knowledge and skill requirements of PS146, and to gain an ex-emption from DFP1 at the same time," he says.
IntegraTec has been providing education to the financial planning industry for 8 years and has just been bought by Intracorp’s financial planning portal Finplanbiz, which is due to come online in the middle of this year.
