Many insurers, financial advisors and brokers in the financial services industry are facing the challenge of obtaining the required credits and qualifications as determined by the FAIS Act.
For this reason, the University of Stellenbosch Business School Executive Development (USB-ED) in association with PSG Konsult Academy have combined their most distinguished faculty members and technical expertise to provide high quality and user friendly training for learners towards the National Qualification in Wealth Management at NQF Level 5. We are offering you the full qualification (122 credits) in four study schools on a modular basis which will be easy to complete over a one to two year period.
With these four focused study schools, we offer a unique learning opportunity to build your confidence and capabilities. The facilitation is interactive and presented by subject matter experts. We are confident that you will not just obtain the necessary credits but that you will leave the programs a better entrepreneur, financial advisor and administrator.
We are aware of the fact that many financial advisors, brokers and administrators have not studied for many years, but have a vast amount of experience. Our four study schools are structured in such a way that you will be at ease with the learning as well as the assessments. If you have the will and determination, we are prepared to "stand by you" until you are competent.
The aim of this qualification is to provide learners with a wide range of specialised and technical skills as well as a broad based knowledge of the applicable legislation, economic principles and the financial services industry in general. The learners will be exposed to the important terms, rules, concepts, principles and theories of Wealth Management.
The Certificate in Wealth Management at NQF level 5 will be sufficient for all requirements as determined by the FAIS Act needed by financial advisors, brokers and administrators.
Participants will receive a PSG Academy certificate as proof of credits after the successful completion of each study school.
