The Pensions Regulator will unveil a free e-learning course aimed at pension scheme trustees at an event on 15 February.

The programme is the first of its kind and is designed to help trustees with their learning, including studying the information requested by the Pensions Act 2004.

This legislation requires trustees to be aware of pensions and trust laws, funding occupational schemes, and the investment of scheme assets.

The software also lets trustees check their knowledge of current affairs, to improve general awareness of relevant issues.

The event will be held at Treadgold Room, One Great George Street, Westminster, London.
