What do our participants say about the PDP Programs

The teaching method at Oceanic/AIFA is very effective. The trainers interact with participants ensuring that participants engage and immerse themselves in the subject matter. You not only get a course qualification but also an intensive and practically oriented industry training program thrown in.

To draw an analogy, doing conventional courses in the field is like watching a football match sitting in a stadium looking down on a game. You know some rules and strategies of the game and imagine what it's like out on the field. The Oceanic course is more like taking the rules and strategies learned and actually being on the field and playing the game with confidence.

I have had 25 years experience in the financial markets, in the process undertaken many development and leadership courses. The AIFA course I am now undertaking ranks exceptionally high, the interactive and case study based approach is typical of what you are going to encounter in the "real world as a Financial Planner.
 
The Facilitators (Trainers) have decades of market experience, helping newcomers to learn what really matters in financial planning. The study materials are tops, what struck me again and again is the quality of the discussions every day in class. Incisive, detailed but totally practical to equip you for what is expected of you after getting your DFS (Financial Planning).

First of all, it is a great idea of professional development program designed by Oceanic and AIFA. Thank you for opening a new door for the refresher in the finance industry and for the career opportunity.

The study materials are really effective and designed well for our needs. Class sizes are small, which is really good because we can communicate between each other. We can interact with the trainer properly and also can ask many questions to improve our knowledge and understanding.

Both of the trainers have a lot of experience and knowledge. They have worked in the industry for a long time, so they are sharing their experience with us, which helps us build our confidence. It is really great that Oceanic uses trainer like them instead of traditional classroom trainer.

Overall I will say Oceanic is simply great and this program will help me build my career in financial services industry and to be a successful financial planner.

It has been a fantastic course. Having come from a commerce degree where we did a lot of theory and little practice, it's great to do so much hands on stuff and be in touch with the people who are working with this stuff every day. More of the hands on stuff!!!
