News round-up

Newpark Group has launched its ‘Educational pathway' which will lead its members through the regulatory requirements to become authorised by the end of the year. 

‘We have broken the known requirements down into manageable pieces and spread them throughout the year to ensure as little disruption to business as possible,' general manager Barry Read says.

"The first step in the pathway is the knowledge based unit standards, for those who haven't completed them already, and this will ensure 30 credits of the National Certificate of Financial Services (Level 5) will be completed by May. "

Newpark are providing the Adviserlink material free for all members and using their own professional development program and study groups to ensure members get choice on how they learn.  Some will work on their own; others in groups some will do boot camps or individual mentoring.
