RG 146 Licensing: Training of financial product advisers

ASIC requires that licensees implement policies and procedures to ensure that they and their advisers undertake continuing training to maintain and update the knowledge and skills that are appropriate for their activities.

RG 146.121 Licensees have an obligation to maintain their competence to provide the financial services authorised under their AFS licence: see s912A(1)(e). They must also ensure that their representatives are adequately trained and competent to provide those financial services: see s912A(1)(f).

As part of meeting these obligations, licensees need to establish policies and procedures on continuing training that will address how they and their advisers will:

(a) maintain knowledge and skills that are appropriate for their activities and responsibilities, and are consistent with the training standards;

(b) update their knowledge and skills, especially in areas where there is continual change (e.g. legislation, regulatory policies and standards, economic and financial developments, new products and new market practices); and

(c) develop new knowledge and skills to assist with their current role or roles contemplated in the near future.
