In New Zealand, advisers in General Insurance and General Insurance Broking can rely on ANZIIF's compliance solution to demonstrate the standards of competence, knowledge and skill prescribed in the Code of Professional Conduct for Financial Advice Services which comes into effect from 15 March 2021.

See the FAQ's at the bottom of this page, for compulsory units that make up the Adviser Compliance.

ANZIIF Pathways
Pathway 1

If you have completed study towards, or hold an ANZIIF Diploma of General Insurance or an ANZIIF Diploma of Insurance Broking, please contact [email protected] for your tailored pathway.

 

Everyone's tailored pathway will include the ANZIIF bridging unit (NZCGI-20 for General Insurance, NZCGB-20 for General Insurance Broking) which covers off the new code of conduct standards. 
Pathway 2

If you are experienced without a qualification (or you hold a qualification not listed in Pathway 1) then you can apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). 

 

This ANZIIF learning pathway allows experienced advisers in general insurance or general insurance broking without a qualification to receive accreditation based on demonstrated capability. RPL to the full suite of competencies reduces formal studies to just the new components required under the code - covered in ANZIIF’s new bridging unit (NZCGI-20 for General Insurance, NZCGB-20 for General Insurance Broking) completed online.

 

ANZIIF has extensive experience in assessing people via RPL and works with individuals to assist them in preparing for the assessments - essentially a portfolio of experience and an interview conducted by ANZIIF.  Click to learn more about RPL
