Unit description

Nominal Time:

This course contains approximately 240 hours (30 days) of courseware and assessment. A nominal time of 240 hours means that the average adult with at least Year 12 (VCE) and little prior knowledge could be expected to take 240 hours to complete this unit of competency by itself. Since most of those who will enrol in this unit have considerable prior knowledge, they will complete the material more quickly.

Students who have completed one of the other ASIC units of competency will have satisfied the following competencies contextualised to a different set of financial products and can therefore be expected to complete the course more rapidly.

Students enrolled in this unit will be enrolled in and co-assessed on

  • FNSICCUS506B Determine client requirements and expectations
  • FNSICCUS507B Record and implement client instructions.
  • FNSFMKT502B Analyse financial market products for client
  • FNSFMKT503B Advise clients on financial risks.

Given the overlap in elements of competency and skills and knowledge requirements, this adds minimal time to the course.

This unit contains employability skills.

EVIDENCE GUIDE

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Area

Training Package Specification

Gryphon Learning Implementation

To achieve competency in this unit, a person must be able to demonstrate:

  • knowledge of industry regulations and codes of practice, financial products and services, financial markets and characteristics, roles of other specialist providers and licensees, as well as the impacts of taxation on the clients financial requirements for the specific products offered
  • for insurance products, competence in this unit is subject to the staff members' approval/authority to accept the transfer of risk

 

As students use Gryphon Learning's courseware to study, they are presented with approximately 1,800 interactive questions allowing them to self-assess their knowledge and skills in this area. The results of these assessments are stored in Gryphon Learning's database, providing evidence of towards the required competencies and knowledge.

To validate this evidence, students are required to sit three supervised assessments involving assessment items drawn from those listed above. Students who have "cheated" by allowing others to study using their login would be most unlikely to satisfactorily complete the supervised tests.

 

Competence in this unit must be assessed over a period of time in order to ensure consistency of performance over the Range Statement and contexts applicable to the work environment.

Under ASIC's Licensing rules, students who have not already demonstrated competency in this unit are not permitted to advise clients. Therefore, the assessment must involve a simulated environment.

Students are required to study the Topic a00s102t09 Managed Investment Clients. This involves interaction with 10 simulated clients in a simulated work environment, and over 100 interactive assessment items.

Students are also required to submit 3 emails describing the interpersonal skills appropriate for interacting with the clients.

 

Prerequisites for this unit have been obtained from standards within the securities industry sector, with generic advice provisions. Customisation of these units should reflect managed investments products. Industry requirements to satisfy Tier 1 requirements are as follows:

  • FNSICCUS506B Determine client requirements and expectations
  • FNSICCUS507B Record and implement client instructions
  • NSFMKT502B Analyse financial market products for client
  • FNSFMKT503B Advise clients on financial risks

 

The assessments for this unit also allow students to demonstrate the competencies, skills and knowledge requirements for the Co-requisite and prerequisite units.

For valid and reliable assessment of this unit, evidence should be gathered through a range of methods to indicate consistent performance.

Assessment of this unit of competence will usually include observation of processes and procedures, oral and/or written questioning on underpinning knowledge and skills and other methods as required.

Assessment involves emailed essays, a range of interactive assessment items comprising both formative and summative assessment. Some of these summative assessments are supervised.

As part of the assessment, information is provided using Audio, Video, text and graphics. Student responses can involve

  • Completion of simulated workplace documentation
  • Completion of simulated processes
  • Responses to multiple choice questions (e.g. clicking on documents to be given to clients)
  • Manipulating and organising items on screen
  • Responses to True/False questions
  • Pointing to significant areas on charts or graphs
  • Assessment of performance requirements in this unit should be undertaken within the financial services industry context and should cover aspects of personal/financial responsibility and accountability.
  • Aspects of competency, including the attainment of relevant knowledge and skills, may be assessed in a relevant workplace, a closely simulated work environment, or other appropriate means that clearly meet industry competency requirements.
  • Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) need to be mindful of the legislative obligations of licensees, where ASIC have prescribed the opportunities where recognition of current competence can be undertaken for these units.

See assessment items and courseware listed above.

Under ASIC's Licensing rules, students who have not already demonstrated competency in this unit are not permitted to advise clients. Therefore, the assessment must involve a simulated environment.

This unit of Competency is offered as part of a course which is listed on the ASIC Training Register as Meeting the educational requirements for the minimum requirements for Advising on Managed investments.

To obtain a certificate stating students have met ASIC's requirements, students must demonstrate that they currently have these competencies. This complicates RPL. See the discussion of RPL in the Gryphon Learning Training Strategies Manual.

 

Unless otherwise specified, there are no significant resource implications for assessment of this unit, apart from access to a relevant workplace or closely simulated office environment and the use of a range of office equipment, technology and consumables. These may include standard commercial computer hardware, software, telephones, facsimiles, and other relevant office equipment.

To complete this unit, students need a computer with adequate internet access. For minimum specifications see the Gryphon Learning Training Strategies Manual.

Most students are currently working in the finance industry (including those employed by Gryphon Learning), and therefore have access to a range of relevant resources (including product documentation.)

Others have accessed such resources from a range of sources, including their financial advisors, by subscription, using the internet and, (under some circumstances, from Gryphon Learning.)
