Responsible Manager training for Australian AFSLs
If you are a Responsible Manager, or about to become one, ASIC expects you to understand the licence, the people under it, and how you would evidence that in a review. This page is about that job. The training itself is the Clearwise AFSL Bootcamp: six self-paced modules, $399 once, ASIC-aligned (not ASIC-endorsed).
What a Responsible Manager is responsible for
Under RG 105, organisational competence means ASIC expects your AFSL to maintain competent systems, processes and people. As a Responsible Manager, you are accountable for making sure that happens in practice.

The AFSL Bootcamp is designed for anyone who needs practical, ASIC-aligned training on Responsible Manager duties and AFSL governance.
