CeRER Training Courses

CeRER training: Beacon Financial Training is now also able to offer CeRER training courses on equity release leading to delegates taking the CeRER exam (Certificate in Regulated Equity Release).

This area of finance is now fully regulated by the FSA which means that all advisors must pass this exam before they are able to advise and sell these products.

Equity release is the process of releasing some of the value or equity from your home in order to provide capital and/or income. These schemes are available to elderly people.

Potential for CeRER Equity Release Advisors

CeRER equity release is an area that is going to be a massive growth area, both now and in the future. There are two important reasons why CeRER training and the CeRER qualification could be important and beneficial to you.

Firstly, the UK as a population has not made adequate pension provision to provide for our needs in retirement. Therefore, a way of solving that problem is to release some or all of the value from the family home in order to provide capital and/or income without having to leave the family home. Many elderly people will be able to solve their income and capital problems by releasing equity from their homes in this way.

Secondly, with the main market being a little difficult at the moment, this could be a useful additional income stream for the mortgage adviser.

CeRER as an addition to your CeMAP Qualification

There are still relatively few mortgage advisors operating in this area. If you could get in first in your area, it could be an extremely lucrative area for you.  Many of our delegates from our CeMAP training courses go on to study for their CeRER training with us as well.

The cost of the 2 day equity release CeRER training course is £295.

If you are interested in this course and would like more details, please email us in the first instance at info@beaconfinancialtraining.co.uk

Similar to the CeMAP exam registration process, the registration fees for the CeRER exam are payable to the IFS at an additional cost of £135 which is paid direct to them. Their contact number is 01227 818609 or you can learn more online at IFS Learning.

There are few dedicated CeRER training companies around because CeRER training is still quite new.  Thanks to the economic downturn, CeRER training courses are fully booked as mortgage advisors look to expand and diversify using CeRER training.  Be wary of any CeRER training course lasting more than a couple of days as it is unnecessary.
