In a powerful display of professional growth and regional collaboration, the Insurance and Financial Practitioners Association of Singapore (IFPAS), together with its international education partner Kaplan Professional Australia, proudly celebrated the graduation of a new wave of financial advisory professionals from two flagship programs – the High Net Worth (HNW) Certification and the Fellow Chartered Financial Practitioner (FChFP) Certification.

Financial advisers deserve to be congratulated for their commitments in advancing professionalism, with thousands across Australia uplifting their education whilst at the same time meeting arguably the toughest and most stringent continuing professional development (CPD) requirements of any profession, according to Kaplan Professional.

There has never been a better time for financial advisory professionals to enhance their career standing in Singapore, with both the High Net Worth (HNW) Certification and Fellow Chartered Financial Practitioner (FChFP) Certification now eligible for the SkillsFuture Credit.

With 2025 – the education deadline year – just around the corner, leading education provider Kaplan Professional has stressed the importance of existing financial advisers (who do not meet the 10-year experience exemption) having a clear understanding of their individual requirements to meet the 31 December 2025 deadline.

One of Australia’s largest licensee and advice services providers, Industry Fund Services (IFS), and leading education provider Kaplan Professional have partnered to build a proposed education solution for superannuation funds that aims to define a clear career progression pathway from service staff providing general advice to practitioners providing personal advice.

In a landmark moment for Malaysia’s financial advisory and insurance sector, the National Association of Malaysian Life Insurance and Family Takaful Advisors (NAMLIFA) has joined forces with its international education partner and course developer, Kaplan Professional Australia, to launch the newly-developed Fellow Chartered Financial Practitioner (FChFP) Certification in Malaysia.
