If you are hoping to enter any part of the financial services sector, there will be qualifications you will need to secure before you can do so – for example, the CeMAP course that trains you to be a mortgage advisor. So, should you take the necessary training at a bricks and mortar centre or pursue it online?
Save time and money
At the moment, the COVID-19 virus has driven a lot of financial training online and, although that situation will not last forever, the advantages to training virtually are so clear that people may be unwilling to go back after it ends. For starters, it saves a lot of time and money if you can complete financial training at home, rather than having to travel to a training centre that could be miles from where you live. Most virtual training courses allow you to set the hours you work yourself as well, which is much better for those who have family or other working commitments.
Gain invaluable experience
Training online will also give you experience that will be invaluable when you start work. Many training courses will likely remain online when the pandemic ends, and the new emphasis on remote working in the mortgage sector and other industries is also likely to stay. Securing qualifications virtually saves the trainee cash and time, and remote working does the same for companies by reducing the need for offices and commutes.
Doing your training online will help you both now and in your future career.
