The online training website has been specifically developed for the equity release market in association with leading online financial services training and support specialists Wizard Learning.
The website will allow advisers to study material specific to equity release at their own pace through comprehensive online testing with instant results and importantly correct explanations when questions may have been answered incorrectly. There is unlimited access available to the training programme for a set period, Continued Professional Development logs and certificates are available to add to Training & Competence files or to be stored online and advisers are able to pit their wits against the computer to sharpen their advisory skills.
There are also ongoing assessment modules available which currently include:
• ER1 Equity Release - Assessment Package
• Assessing Competence: Equity Release
• CF8 Long term care insurance - assessment package
• Money Laundering - Online Course
This launch comes swiftly on the back of ERC’s full roll out of its ASSIST and ACADEMY ASSIST support service propositions aimed at providing an extensive range of support services for advisers, networks and distributors within the equity release market.
Stuart Wilson, Managing Partner of Equity Release Club, said:
“Quality of advice is linked to quality of learning so, at ERC, we wanted to bring a simple but effective online facility for advisers, at a ‘value for money’ cost. We have worked extremely closely with the guys at Wizard Learning to come up with a package that provides a full variety of high quality interactive training opportunities. It offers a full range of training for advisers looking to further develop their skills in the equity release sector through to those that know little about the market but want to embark on looking to advise in the sector.”
