TAL has launched the TAL Insurance Academy, a learning and development platform for its superannuation fund partners offering them access to on-demand education.

The course content will be delivered by subject matter experts and include a comprehensive overview of the domestic life insurance landscape as well as masterclasses on key aspects of insurance in superannuation.

The insurer said that during the initial rollout TAL’s superannuation fund partners exceeded expectations and fund employees completed 3,000 learning modules.

The Academy will be enabled by a learning management system that is fully integrated with TAL’s superannuation fund partner portal, GroupHQ.

TAL General Manager, Partnerships, Dan Taylor, said the ambition was to make life insurance better understood and valued.

“Supporting our superannuation fund partners to have well informed and ongoing engagement with their members, and enhancing the value those members derive from their fund, reflects TAL’s commitment to partner excellence,” he said.

“The platform allows us to extend our support and complement the existing face-to-face training we provide to partners. This includes an extensive range of masterclasses on mental health conditions, recognising their impact on super fund members and ensuring super fund teams are equipped to have informed conversations and provide targeted support.”
