Training for Financial Services

ISM specialises in training for the financial services industry. Our major clients include banks, credit unions, financial planning organisations, mortgage brokers and insurers.
High quality training for your staff is crucial to ensuring you have a sustainable competitive advantage and meet your compliance requirements. But too often training is vanilla and your staff feel like they are going through the motions doing a generic qualification for work they already do each day. Staff dislike it, completion is a struggle, and you get poor value for your investment.

ISM is different. We specialise in financial services. We tailor training to our clients. Our primary focus is ensuring your organisation and your staff get the results you are seeking from the training and that value is delivered to your organisation. We are a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) so structure this around nationally recognised qualifications to ensure your staff also complete a recognised qualification.

To find out how tailored training could benefit your organisation and why so many organisations in the financial services industry choose ISM, contact us for a free consultation.

What our clients say about us

Thank you Antoine! What a luxury to have the opportunity to spend the day listening to and speaking with a professional with such practical and academic experience/background.
Haley BellamySenior Mortgage Advisor
Yesterday was probably one of the best oneday training courses that I have ever attended. It was a shame that we ran out of time towards the end of the day. This training could easily be spread over two days. Jeff was awesome, and very knowledgeable. Years ago I conducted similar inhouse training on this subject, so I know how hard it is to make this topic sound interesting & fun. Jeff definitely did this. Mate, if there is ever a second one, or a ‘Part Two’ session please put me down for it. Well done again..... and thanks,

Clear, concise, efficient. Our facilitator Jeff was experienced and provided strong knowledge of all topics discussed.

As a novice manager in the Mutual industry, I found the Advance Diploma of Leadership and Management to have been extremely timely and beneficial to my professional development.

It provided me with not only a qualification, but acted as a mentor to me as I navigated my new role and other facets of the business.

I was able to directly apply skills learned in each session immediately in the workplace, which not only assisted me personally but also my team and other departments.

Being able to collaborate with industry peers and learn face to face was one of the key drawcards for me, and I enjoyed the challenge of the coursework.

Each workshop presenter provided relevant content and insight into their own area of expertise, which was both engaging and inspiring.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their critical thinking skills and professional growth.

This is an exciting development as there is no other course available in the market as comprehensive or focussed on the practical aspects of commercial finance.

Hi Nicola,

I just wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you so very, very much for all the help and support you have given me with my Diploma.

I can't recommend ISM highly enough and will be referring anyone I know that needs to complete this course to ISM.

What others have found stressful, I have actually really enjoyed thanks to your support. I have learnt a lot and will definitely be able to use some of what I have learnt with moving forward.

I will miss our chats through....

You are a beautiful person and I feel privileged to have met you.

Thanks once again
