ASFA moves on education
The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) has moved to broaden its educational accreditation program by restructuring and rebranding its education and training program into a so-called ‘professional development suite’.
The suite will be marketed as Professional Development Pathways and will dove-tail with ASFA’s existing accreditation program by providing a new ‘affiliate’ level.
ASFA’s member services manager said that the implementation of the new professional development suite would make ASFA a “one stop shop” for superannuation industry education.
He said that ASFA had also restructured its education program to reflect vocational interest streams, enabling people to join the pathways at their appropriate level.
“Allied with the CPD [continual professional development] program is our accreditation process that flows alongside the educational pathway, leading from the new introductory level of affiliate through to associate and culminating in fellow status,” Long said.
He said that organisations who were members of ASFA could enter their staff representatives into the ASFA accreditation program.
