Family Business Adviser Accreditation Training

Family Business Adviser Accreditation Training (core training) takes 12 days, starting with an intensive 4 day program. The remaining sessions can be undertaken (in sequence) in 2 day blocks (modules) whenever relevant courses are available within the 3 year subscription period. There should be at least one complete set of Accreditation Training sessions running each year. The core training process could be completed within 12 months, if anyone’s that keen.
The training and accreditation process begins when a new Associate attends a Foundation Course. We expect all Associates to achieve accreditation within 3 years and make every effort to help them do so.
