Financial Planner Life Partners, an adviser training initiative, has partnered with training and support company NextGen Planners to launch The Financial Planner Life Academy which is offering training for a pay-as-you-go  £19.99 a month subscription.

Ten years on from the launch of the St James’s Place (SJP) Academy, 844 graduates of the scheme remain part of the adviser network.

Benchmark Capital, the owner of several financial and Financial Planning firms, has launched an academy to train the next generation of Chartered Financial Planners.

New Model Business Academy, the adviser academy run by SimplyBiz, has been criticised by education inspector Ofsted for a second year after it was found to be “making insufficient progress” from its previous inspection.
