The benefits of the Wizard Learning online CPD SYSTEM for you and your business
Continuing professional development is the cornerstone of on-going professionalism and has been recognised as essential to the maintenance of high quality services for many years.

As the financial services sector steps ever closer to the plate, the importance of CPD has increased to the point where it is now essential that high quality learning and revision is undertaken and provable for individuals providing services.

In order to maintain Statements of Professional Standing to enable financial advisers to continue in their profession, to retain designatory letters for members of professional bodies and to satisfy competency requirements imposed by the regulatory regime, everyone working in financial services needs to be able to provide evidence of competency and continual development.

Devising training plans and structuring CPD can be a challenge. Wizard Learning provides a framework for learning, recording and evidencing CPD activity with ease.

This means that you will be able to:

• Outline your training and development needs
• Describe the training you have undertaken
• State the application and benefits flowing from the knowledge gained.

All this information can be stored in one place together with the evidence detailing what you have studied, test results to prove that the learning has occurred and evidence that CPD requirements have been met.

This material can in turn be used in furtherance of your career, obtaining a Statement of Professional Standing or demonstrating regulatory compliance with training and competency rules.
