Financial Advising at Western

Our Graduate Certificate in Financial Advising is specifically designed for existing financial advisers who wish to expand their skills and to meet new bridging subject education requirements as stipulated in the Corporations Act 2001 (as amended) and outlined in the Education Pathways Policy (FPS001) issued by the Financial Adviser Standards and Ethics Authority (FASEA). These requirements include the completion of between one and three individual bridging subjects and a capstone subject, depending on the adviser’s educational degrees and professional certification/s. Our Graduate Certificate provides advisers with a degree which enables them to complete all three FASEA approved bridging subjects (in addition to a FASEA approved Financial Advice Capstone subject for advisers who follow the ‘relevant degree’ pathway outlined in FPS001). The aim is to ensure you comply with education requirements to practise as a financial adviser and are familiar with the FASEA Code of Ethics, behavioural finance and regulatory and legal obligations of financial advisers in order to provide high-quality professional services.
