Tenet has joined forces with RDR qualification provider Calibrand to offer the new Diploma in Professional Financial Advice.

The diploma is a purpose-built qualification for financial advisers, which fulfils the FSA’s RDR qualification requirement and the post-2010 reformed appropriate exam standards. Awarded by the Scottish Qualifications Authority, no fees or membership pre-requisites are required to register, through the Calibrand Adviser Learning Centre.

Tenet will be providing training courses in November with special exam sessions for its advisers at locations throughout the UK commencing in 2011.

Neil Price, Tenet’s group training and development manager, said: “It enables us to offer a very real alternative to the established provider options – with a number of attractive benefits to help advisers attain their level 4 qualification.
