Advisers should pass level five with few problems: Hill

The insurer has launched an online platform, Advisery, with resources for advisers preparing to move their businesses to the FSLAA regime.

It is also working with 160 advisers around the country to get them through the level five certificate in financial services that is the required level of competence in the new rules.

It has partnered with Strategi and its technical and training specialist Jeff Bailey will deliver courses and be available to answer questions.

Hill said one of the things that had been identified early in the process was that some advisers had not been involved in any study, or in a formal learning environment, for a long time.
