Kaplan Professional chief executive, Brian Knight, said "as SMSFs continue to grow not only in number but in value, more trustees are seeking advisers who will help manage their fund".

"The qualification would be well suited to those with professional accreditations looking to develop further capacity to work with clients who have SMSFs and those wanting to add a specialisation to their financial qualifications," he said.

Also commenting, SMSF Association head of education, Liz Ward said the program would enable students to attain an academic qualification but also the Association's industry designations.
