The New Model Business Academy, the not for profit learning academy, has launched a free gap fill tool for advisers that fills all 109 gaps and is accredited by the Institute of Financial Planning. The universal tool is a free online gap fill solution that fills all 109 gaps to ensure those advisers meet the full requirements of the RDR and sweep up before 2013.
Lee Travis, chief executive of the NMBA said: "There are several organisations out there offering gap fill solutions, but these usually come with a cost or are available to members only. Our gap fill tool is free and available to all advisers in the market to help them finish off any outstanding gaps before the deadline. "The RDR process has been an expensive challenge for advisers and I am pleased that we are continuing our contribution by launching a new tool that is free to use." The academy has helped over 13,000 financial services professionals with RDR requirements and hopes to continue offering post-RDR help for advisers with issues such as CPD and business development. New Model Business Academy was launched in 2008 and is the training division of the SimplyBiz group. SimplyBiz provides compliance and support services to financial services firms.
