The alliance will enable networkone to enhance its offering to network members, particularly in relation to the delivery of a first-class training and competency service.
Competent Adviser provides web-based competence testing and knowledge solutions designed by experienced mortgage, compliance, training and IT professionals who understand the changing requirements of mortgage practitioners operating in a fully regulated environment.
Members will be able to access the new service as part of the general range of services available to them. There will be no charges levied by networkone for use of Competent Adviser.
“We are delighted to have joined forces with Competent Adviser. They are a great team,” said Terry Markham, managing director of networkone. “The system that we are now able to offer to our members is extremely user-friendly – and it caters for the professional needs of networkone members.”
Among the online solutions now available to members are:
- Recruitment aids
- Personalised CPD programmes
- Supervisory and reporting functions
- Fully compliant regulatory audit trails.
In addition, members will also be able to access Competent Adviser’s comprehensive, regularly updated Knowledge Zone – an essential industry research tool that ensure intermediaries remain fully updated about regulatory and product developments.
Chris Heard, managing director of Competent Adviser, said: “Mortgage intermediaries are now working in a highly pressurised environment – and that pressure is going to become more intense over the coming months.
“I’m delighted that networkone has chosen us to be its partner going forward. It’s an excellent network proposition – and my team is looking forward to building strong relationship with Terry Markham and his team over the course of the next few months.”
