Jo Bean - AFA Student of the Year 2008

Jo completed her Diploma in Financial Services (Financial Planning) with RG146 Training Australia in 2008, where she was recognised for developing exceptional advisory skills through her time of study.

Jo commenced her studies in 20 Jan 2006 but was sick for sometime. When she came back to complete her Diploma of Financial Services, she gave it her 110%.

The AFA student of the Year Award, sponsored by Asteron, recognises the top-performing student within the advice industry.

“Given the AFA's push into education, it seemed a logical fit to recognise the best students studying to qualify as financial advisers," Richard Klipin, CEO, Association of Financial Advisers.
