We have developed three bespoke training plans for key roles within adviser firms, based on feedback from advisers taking part in our most recent platform migration. Each plan includes articles, guides and documents that are most relevant to that role and are designed to provide a tailored introduction to our new technology platform for advisers taking part in our third and final migration.
