Course overview

Are you a training manager looking for compliance training for employees?

The Tier 2 RG146 Accreditation Online training program is specifically designed for corporate organisations that require employees to hold accreditation in General and/or Personal Advice in basic deposit and non-cash payment products and/or general insurance.

For Deposit Products this must be demonstrated by an individual on at least one (1) occasion and for General Insurance this must be demonstrated on at least two (2) occasions with different clients and general insurance products. This means that each individual will complete either one (1) client interaction (if enrolled in Deposit Products), two (2) client interactions (if enrolled in General Insurance) or three (3) client interactions (if enrolled in General Insurance and Deposit Products).

Each Workplace Validation Report completed by a line manager or supervisor is reviewed and marked for final competency by a Kaplan Professional assessor.

If individuals are not working in the industry, the interactions will be conducted via roleplays with a Kaplan Professional assessor.
