Benefits for sponsoring employers

Why sponsor employees to do the FSP?

By sponsoring employees to undertake the FSP, employers demonstrate:

  • Their capacity to deliver outstanding value and service to clients
  • A commitment to talent development and retention
  • A proactive response to the expectations of regulators and consumers for a higher level of professionalism in the financial services industry.


The FSP provides sponsoring employers with:

  • A credential that complements existing training-based learning and development initiatives
  • An independent, dedicated portal that enables candidates to record their progress and prepare their evidence reports to meet the requirements of the FSP
  • The comfort that all evidence provided by candidates is verified by an internal staff member as a true and accurate record
  • The confidence that the capabilities demonstrated meet an industry-agreed standard of superior technical knowledge, skills and professional behaviour.
