Marvin OnumonuAptia has partnered with the Pensions Management Institute (PMI) to launch a new qualification for pensions administrators.
This will be rolled out first to Aptia staff in the UK and India before being offered to the wider sector.
The aim is to help staff stay up to date with changes in pensions law, industry trends and new technology, and to raise standards in pensions administration.
Malcolm Reynolds, UK president of Aptia, said: “We believe that knowledge and education are the cornerstones of excellence in pensions administration.
“This partnership with the Pensions Management Institute reflects our dedication to continuous learning and to empowering our colleagues with industry-recognised skills and standards.
“This is especially important for colleagues that have been in the industry for many years and haven’t had the opportunity to take any qualifications for quite some time.”
Reynolds added: “Investing in qualifications makes great business sense, and this partnership offers significant benefits to Aptia and its clients.
“It reinforces our position as a trusted leader in pensions administration, while empowering our teams to deliver best-in-class services, building trust with clients and trustees alike.”
Gareth Tancred, CEO of the PMI, said: “At the PMI our central mission is empowering change through education.
“We are dedicated to supporting and developing experts who manage UK pension schemes.
“We are also committed to fostering industry collaboration and driving innovation to enhance retirement outcomes.”
Tancred added: “This strategic partnership is part of that drive to work with the industry to continuously improve our qualifications and raise standards across pensions.”
