TAL is doubling some of its Financial Adviser Standards and Ethics Authority (FASEA) masterclasses in response to growing demand.

The class supports advisers in preparing for examinations by providing key information and materials guidance. Initial sessions are being held in Brisbane, Newcastle, Melbourne and Geelong.

Advisers must pass the exam before January 2021, while new advisers will have to pass it after completing a FASEA-approved degree and before starting the third quarter of their professional year.

“We know there is a huge amount of knowledge and expertise within the financial advice sector, and these courses are designed to help de-mystify the way in which that knowledge will be tested as part of FASEA compliance,” TAL Head of Licensees and Partnerships Beau Riley said.
