FAQ:
What is the AdviserSkills programme?
It takes more than qualifications and technical knowledge to be a successful Mortgage Adviser or Financial Adviser. You also need a range of soft skills to help you build a strong relationship with your clients. AdviserSkills helps you to develop these skills, so that you are in the best possible position to advise clients on the products that will suit their requirements.
Why are soft skills so important for a Financial Adviser?
Advising clients on financial matters requires a range of interpersonal skills, which allow you to communicate effectively and build trust with your client. The AdviserSkills programme will help you to develop these skills as well as working on topics such as time management, record keeping and attracting new clients. With these skills, you’ll be well equipped to thrive in your new role.
Do I need to pass an exam to complete the programme?
There is no exam to take at the end of the AdviserSkills course. Once you’ve successfully completed the programme, you’ll receive an employer recognised certificate.
Can I study AdviserSkills on its own?
Many newly qualified advisers choose to continue their professional development by undertaking AdviserSkills, as it has been designed to complement the technical knowledge already gained in achieving either CeMAP or DipFA qualifications. Studying both the courses together is a fantastic way to begin a new career in financial advice, setting you apart from your peers.
