WF: What is the Reliance Goal Planning Specialist accreditation program?
Himanshu: In our endeavor to equip distributors with goal planning based approach for their clients, we have launched Reliance Goal Planning Specialist e-Certification with Basic & Advanced levels. The basic level was launched in Nov'14 and was kept open till 7th December 2014.
The effort is to enable distributors in making every investment of their clients a 'need based Goal oriented' investment. This will help the investors to remain focused & invested during periods where markets are volatile thereby facilitate to achieve their medium to long term goals successfully. This will also help the distributors in increasing their average ticket size by at least 2-3 times of current industry average of appx. Rs.2500/- per SIP. Our efforts are to enable 5000 IFAs as Goal Planning Specialist by this eLearning initiative.
In order to get oneself certified as a 'Goal Planning Specialist', all one had to do was complete the following three exciting modules followed by assessments on our eLearning platform:
Basics of Goal Planning
Maths behind Perfect Goal Planning (excel based)
Reliance Portfolio SIP
On completion of each module, learners get to view & download individual certificate of completion. We are proud to share that 1000~ IFAs have successfully qualified as Goal Planning Specialist by completing these online eLearning module. They would be invited for a felicitation program shortly and will be also provided with personalized 'Goal Planning Specialist-Basic' certificate & business cards.
WF: What can distributors expect from the advanced level and when will this be launched?
Himanshu: The idea is to upgrade & upskill one step at a time. The first BIG step has been initiated with huge success and now we are ready to launch the next BIG step of Goal Planning Specialist (Advance) e-Certification from 13th to 31st December 2014. In order to get oneself certified as a 'Goal Planning Specialist (Advance), one has to complete the above mentioned basic online e-Certification followed by three more exciting modules & assessments on our eLearning platform:

I would urge all IFAs who missed out on the basic certification to make good use of this opportunity and complete both the levels (Basic & Advance) during the mentioned period.
