To coincide with a changeover from CPD points to CPD hours, the initiative branded ‘My Professional Development’ goes live on 1 July 2012 and builds on Tenet’s current programme of support, which includes qualification, knowledge and skills training, 140 regional events, online forums and appropriate e-learning material.
Tenet is additionally incorporating annual testing and integrated CPD recording, with all content being centrally loaded and linked to the issuing of a Statement of Professional Standing in partnership with the Institute of Financial Services.
The content of Tenet’s programme already carries Chartered Insurance Institute accreditation and is in the final stages of accreditation by the IFS.
Tenet’s group distribution and development director, Keith Richards said: This latest support enhancement forms part of Tenet’s wider commitment to professional development - and is based on adviser feedback and needs analysis, rather than regulatory compliance alone.
“Our end-to-end solution removes the burden and added cost of obtaining CPD and SPS from different sources,” he continued, “allowing advisers to more effectively map out their development and business needs and therefore meet new RDR standards more efficiently.
“The complete service will be available at no additional cost to appointed representatives and offered at a subsidised rate to directly authorised advisers.”
