Life Insurance
Adviser Course
The Life Insurance Adviser Knowledge & Skills course is designed for individuals who require authorisation by an Australian Financial Services License (AFSL) holder to provide advice on regulated Insurance products.
For existing authorised representatives, successful completion of this course allows you to extend your advisory range into Insurance products.
Focused on your Success
We recognise that employers are increasingly looking for candidates who are aware of the challenges of being a successful financial adviser.
Often a candidate’s Qualification is the only evidence that they possess the technical knowledge and skills requirements to conduct themselves professionally as an authorised representative. Unfortunately, this can not be said for all training providers.
With a Mentor Education Training Australia qualification you have confidence in the fact that you will be equipped with the skills and knowledge gained from a credible industry-endorsed program that employs best practice assessment standards, helping you graduate at the leading edge of your chosen field.
“Studying has been immeasurably valuable and effective for me. Being on this course allowed me to get a very good job with a major bank. Mentor Education has been the difference. The level of service we have received through everybody without exception at Mentor Education has been outstanding. We have been treated with dignity, patience and unbelievable efficiency. Our gratitude is immense.”
