Having helped establish the first financial planning undergraduate tertiary qualification in South Africa, Mrs Palframan also mentioned that apart from young students, the postgraduate qualification in particular attracts individuals of all ages that are interested in improving their financial planning skills and knowledge. These individuals often also include more seasoned individuals looking to upskill themselves.
