Designed for financial services organisations and delivered Australia-wide
The national headquarters of the training arm of the IFS is located in Sydney and the courses, consultancy services and e-learning are delivered Australia-wide, to a variety of financial services organisations. Distance Learning Courses are a specialty of the IFS.
Courses are specifically designed for people working in the retail financial services sector of the finance industry and mortgage broking industry, and particularly for those without tertiary qualifications.
A number of our Certificate III and Certificate IV level qualifications are available as either New Entrant or Existing Worker Traineeships in various States of Australia.

Students can contact the IFS by telephone, fax or email for assistance.

The tutor will answer your questions within 24 hours of you contacting them.
Credit Transfers, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) & Recognition of Current Competence (RCC)
The IFS recognises the skills and knowledge that you may have gained through previous studies and/or work and life experiences.
Credit Transfers are recognised if you have already completed a comparable module/s or competency/ies with a recognised educational institution (eg TAFE or a University).
RPL or RCC may be granted if you have documented evidence of work/life experience from previous or current employers.
To apply for Credit Transfers, RPL or RCC you must fill in an application form (available from the IFS) attaching copies of your academic record and/or documented work experience and fax or mail it to the IFS. You need to clearly identify the IFS module from which you are seeking exemption.
A fee will apply to all applications for Credit Transfers, RPL or RCC.
If the exemption is granted then fees will not be charged for that/those module/s. Students applying for exemptions will be notified by telephone and mail of the outcome. The exemption is then noted on their academic record with the IFS.
