When you decide on a career path, or even a specific job within the finance industry, you need to think about what is required in terms of your skills level and the training you need to do from a couple of points of view.Firstly, the government regulator (ASIC in this case), will require you to have passed certain courses. These are commonly known as RG146 courses and cover things like the Financial Planning courses, the Mortgage Brokers course and the Diploma of Financial Services. Without completing the required RG146 courses you will not be allowed to work in a job where you give advice to customers.Secondly, you will be competing with other people for jobs in the industry. Find out what skills and courses employers are looking for in potential candidates for the job. It may be that the RG146 training is sufficient, or it might be that employers are looking for more certifications.The level of employment/unemployment at the time may have some impact on what employers will accept, but you need to know what you are up against and what you need to do to be competitive when going for a job that you want.A training provider will help you map out a list of courses you need to do, what order you should do them and a time frame for finishing them. Once you have this then you have set your goals and can get started on your career.Don't stop applying for jobs while you are continuing with study. Prospective employers will see that you have done your homework and have a plan, and will probably admire your pluck if you are applying for a role you are not quite certified for yet, but that you know where you're going and how you're going to get there.Also keep this in mind if you want to change career paths. The same thing applies, map out a training schedule that will see you with the right qualifications at point x in the future. You will be well rewarded with this sort of approach.Lastly, come back from time to time and check on both the regulatory training requirements for your role and the qualifications of new hires into similar roles. That way you can keep yourself employable well into the future, even where your  experience will play a much bigger part in your overall desirability to an employer. In other words, don't rest on your laurels, they might just turn out to be prickly.
