Recognition of Prior Learning

ANZIIF recognises and appreciates current competency and the level of professional experience you hold, which is why for advisers with 2+ years' experience, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an available pathway towards attaining the ‘ANZIIF New Zealand Compliance for Advisers (General Insurance or General Insurance Broking)’.

As a registered training organisation, ANZIIF has been providing RPL for over 25 years, and is the only educator in the New Zealand market actively promoting RPL for this certification.

Elements specific to the Financial Advice Regime will be included in a specially tailored bridging unit. The unit must be completed by all who seek compliance certification via ANZIIF – including those relying on RPL in their pathway.

What is RPL?

RPL is the option for skilled insurance professionals to receive accreditation based on demonstrated capability.

RPL provides you with the opportunity to achieve full or partial ANZIIF certification via the evaluation of your industry experience, skills, knowledge and on-the-job training.
