Advisor Accreditation

We live our values. One of Bestmed’s four values is mutuality. This means that we interact with all stakeholders in a mutual spirit of partnership. As our partner, your growth and development are important to us. That is why we offer several platforms and tools that are designed to empower you to take the next step in your professional journey.
As you are aware, Fit and Proper Requirements state that all advisors must receive Product Specific Training prior to giving advice or rendering intermediary services. Advisors must also receive training on changes in the market, to financial products, financial services and legislation annually.

At Bestmed, we offer:

  • Face-to-face training
  • Virtual training
  • An online test

These tools incorporate both the Accreditation and the Product Specific Test with certification in an effort to make this mandatory training a little more convenient for you. For enquiries, please contact Ancin Botes (ancin.botes@bestmed.co.za) our Bestmed FAIS Compliance Specialist or your Business Consultant (BC).

Disputes

Dispute Resolution


Bestmed strives to create open lines of communication with all stakeholders. Should you feel that your dispute has not been resolved with your Business Consultant, you can escalate the dispute to Zerina Richards, the Advisor Sales Manager.

In the event that the dispute is still unresolved, you can escalate the matter to Madelein
Barkhuizen, Executive: Sales & Marketing.

Should the dispute be on behalf of a client, you can escalate your complaint to the Council
for Medical Schemes (CMS) Complaints Unit.

Who can complain to the Registrar’s Office?
Any beneficiary or any person who is aggrieved with the conduct of a medical scheme can
submit a complaint. It is, however, very important to note that a prospective complainant should always first seek to resolve complaints through the complaints mechanisms in place at the respective medical scheme before approaching the Council for assistance.

 

Complaints

Complaints can be submitted by any reasonable means such as a letter, fax, email or in person at the CMS offices
