Diploma of Financial Services (RG146/PS146)

[prawn_86]

Re: Diploma of Financial Services (PS146)

I'm deciding whether it is worth it continuing at FINSIA until I'm enrolled for next year (depending on how much Monash credits prior studies at FINSIA). Would anyone happen to have experience with this ?

Credit differs for each uni, but for me, when i complete the DFS i will recieve credit for 2 subjects (1/2 a semester).

Financially i looked at it this way:

The DFS is going to cost me $2120 upfront.
I'll recieve 2 subjects credit which will save my HECS $1800
Therefore im paying just over $300 to get my PS146 accreditation, which isnt bad at all when you think about it.

Pawn you will have to change the name of the thread it's not called the PS146 any more!

It's now called the RG146

Hello all,, ive read the above posts with interest, and I have a question.

What qualifications does someone need to run some of the courses seen advertised in the press on 'Stock trading' ??

Some quote there AFSL number.

Or do they only need RG146 ?? compliance, as suggested earlier.

cheers

G'day Prawn. hows the studying going?

I didn't know that they offered 2 subject credts. Does it matter which subjects they are in uni?

For my last year of Commerce, i'll be doing the compulsory subjects for an Accounting and Finance major. I'm guessing theres no credit towards them since they are compulsory?

Cheers

Gday,

I have to complete the Property Investment Analysis assignment for FINSIA (now Kaplan). Its due next Tuesday and Im battling for time. Is anyone out there a gun on this subject or in any position to help?

Obviously I'll make it worth your while. I work in broking and will be able to help in that area ie research, employment, general advice etc.

Let me know.

Cheers,

Jack

Sorry, i missed this reply.

Credit varies depending on each uni, so it would be best to contact you lecturer, or whoever sorts that out at your uni.

Before i started my DFS i asked my lecturer and he confirmed i would get 2 subjects (1 compulsory, 1 elective) credited.

Which course are you doing at the moment? I don't recall there is a property investment analysis in any of the DFP modules. Investment Planning module was more than just property. I guess you had a different module or something back from Finsia?

Picking up this old thread.

I did my Dip. in Financial Markets (FINSA) about three years ago. It was very straight fwd and I completed it in 4 trimesters.

I'm thinking about doing the Grad Dip in Applied Finance.

Anyone got any comments on how hard this course is compared to the Dip. in Fin. Markets? Anyone done the Masters?

Also, I don't have a undergraduate degree. What uni's recognise Kaplan courses for exemptions/cross credits to their finance/business Degrees.

 

[bvbfan]

Doing the Grad Dip myself.

First couple of units only marginally harder for me

The last 4 are tough, but depends on what you choose really I guess.
Assignments actually I found harder.

 

[Largesse]

anyone here that has completed a UniMelb commerce degree tried using Intro and Intermediate Personal Finance as recognition of prior learning for the RG146?

just trying to ascertain whether i can skip half of the course because it will have undoubtedly have been covered at uni already.

Hi im 20 and currently doing 3rd year of a property economics degree...
im very interested in doing this or something similar as i want to get into a form of LPT fund or securitised funds etc etc... what would the kind people of ASF reccomend in order to acheive this? would this diploma be worthwhile getting or should i look into some sorta of post grad...

the thing is many people who have graduated from my course have made their way into property style funds, or funds which have a substantial property allocation.. but alot of the subjects im doing is development, valuation orientated, with only 5 or so economics, investment, cash flow related...

ive also got a 2 year cadetship atm which a major property agency, but i dont quite know which divisions i should choose which would be beneficial in trying to get into this sorta career.. if anyone has any knowledge on the area or any general advice, id appreciate the help...

[lennyhayes]

Hi, I'm also new to this forum.

I've been wanting to get my diploma of financial services for a long time but had to postpone it because I gave birth.

I've been looking at some distance learning schools since I don't have too much time in my hands.

Can anyone vouch for these distance learning schools?

1. PS146 - International Institute Technology
2. Kaplan - Kaplan

What u guys expecting from the course?
Nothing teach better than real trading.
I studied bachelor of finance, then master of financial analysis, then a short equity valuation course, and i found them just a theory mess.

Financial Planning Studies

Hey guys

Many years ago i completed a few DFP subjects via correspondence through Deakin Uni. Im looking at completing my studies now but Deakin doesnt offer it any more.

Does anyone know who offers the best course now, the industry standard?
I see there are many sites offering courses but i want to complete it with whoever is regarded as the best now.

Any planners out there that can advise. I have completed a few DFP1, 2 and 3 and was hoping to carry these across with exemptions.

Thanks in advance
Rob

To save you clowning around this is probably the premier Australian School of Financial Planning.

All the skills to separate people from their hard earned are here.
