TAL and Deakin University have established a partnership to help advisers with their obligation to meet the Financial Adviser Standards and Ethics Authority (FASEA) education requirements.

Advisers who complete three modules and assessment tasks through the TAL Risk Academy will be provided with a credit into Deakin University’s FASEA-approved postgraduate financial planning courses.

In addition, Deakin University will offer those financial advisers applying for the courses through the TAL Risk Academy a 15% discount on the cost of the courses and unit tuition fees.

TAL GM Retail Distribution Niall McConville says the partnership will give advisers “a more flexible and cost-effective education pathway to meet their FASEA education requirements and gain a qualification from one of Australia’s leading universities”.

The insurer also announced the risk academy has developed a new version of its FASEA Exam Masterclass program.
