Certificate in Regulated Equity Release (CeRER)
Gone are the days when you can just give basic mortgage advice – all advisors need to skill up and offer greater solutions to their clients needs. It is now essential that todays Mortgage and Insurance Broker diversifies his/her business.
Equity Release markets are now coming of age. The elderly no longer have the required savings or pensions to provide the lifestyle they deserve. The combination of buoyant house prices and the prospect of dwindling pensions has sparked a resurgence of this potentially lucrative sector. In order to advise on Equity Release you must have completed examinations to prove competence in this area.
This is also an excellent tool to enable 1st time buyers to get on the ladder – with grandparents and parents releasing equity to provide the necessary deposits. The CeRER qualification is accredited by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and is incorporated in the National Qualifications Framework at Level 3. This is the first stage of the process of becoming an ER specialist.
Believe it or not there are only 400 advisers currently giving advice in this amazing market.
Become Equity Release Qualified
The cost of the CeRER course is just £300. However, we recommend that you join our Financial Services Club of Great Britain which will not only culminate in you being Equity Release qualified, but will also give you twelve months of training (160 hours of CPD) and Advanced CeMAP recognition.
