Training For Mortgage Brokers

Brendan O’Neill is a senior trainer and Director at Beacon Financial Training. His expertise and experience are second to none.

Beacon Financial Training have been delivering the highest quality of training since 2005 and have received extremely positive feedback from brokers on their expertise and professional service.

We asked Beacon why have they received such strong reviews in the market as a leading CeMAP training provider. Their response is below:

1.  Value for Money

Our training courses are competitively priced – offering both exceptional quality and value. We are committed to offering you the highest quality of training at competitive prices. If you find a CeMAP training course from a company that is registered with the official examining body that offers training cheaper than ours, we will not only match your quote but offer a further 10% discount on your quoted price.

2.  Training Materials

Here at Beacon Financial, we use our own tailor-made training materials. These materials have been written in house by our CeMAP training specialist Brendan O’Neill. Brendan has been delivering CeMAP training since 2004 when CeMAP became a compulsory element for mortgage advisors. Over the years, he has devised, developed, and amended these materials which are designed to make the learning more accessible for students. Our training materials have proven to be so effective, that other training companies often buy our materials for their own use.

3.  Course Viability Numbers

An area of concern when choosing to book a classroom course is their availability and whether the courses are guaranteed to run.

We guarantee that all of our courses will run, even you are the sole applicant.

4.  Course Size

Another important question that you need to ask when deciding on a CeMAP course provider is “how many other people will be on the course itself?”. This is a really important question, as larger classes pose the risk of reducing the one to one tuition time and support you may receive. Because of this, we believe the group size per course should be no more than 16. We limit our class sizes to this maximum to offer you the greatest chance of success in this course.

5.  Course Re-sit Guarantee

If at first, you don’t succeed, there is no need to panic, we offer an unlimited period resit guarantee – this means that you are able to re-sit your examinations as many times as necessary to achieve success.

6.  Course Location

Our training is available at venues and locations which are accessible to our students. In order to ensure that our venues are accessible, all our venues will be accessible via the road network close to motorways and offer free parking.

7.  Flexibility of your booking

If you book with us and are then unable to attend the course for whatever reason, we will allow you to transfer your booking to another course free of charge. We understand that circumstances, personal or work-related, may get in the way and you need to transfer the course date.

8.  Guaranteed Interview

Due to the fact that we deliver training for a number of companies in our area, many of these companies contact us in order to help meet their recruitment needs. Therefore, we have been able to offer anyone who books CeMAP training with us, a guaranteed interview with a firm looking to take on newly CeMAP qualified individuals. Starting salaries for these positions are around £29,000 plus bonuses on top.

9.  Qualified Teachers

At Beacon Financial, we offer high-quality CeMAP training courses provided by qualified teachers. CeMAP is an academic exercise and therefore we insist that all our trainers are not only CeMAP qualified but also hold a recognised teaching qualification. The concepts in CeMAP can be difficult to understand and we think that the person delivering the course needs to be an expert, not just academically, but also in delivering the highest quality of teaching and tutoring.

10.  A small company

We’re proud to be a small company based in the North West of England close to both Manchester and Liverpool. We offer our classroom courses in the Manchester, Liverpool, and Leeds areas, also known as the M62 corridor. Because we are a small company we can guarantee that you get the best training for a competitive price, as well as quality control and accountability. When you study with Beacon, we can offer you post-course support as well.
