Access Financial Services has announced it is launching its next training academy for brokers on 12 September.

The mortgage and protection brokerage revealed it is increasing the number of academies it holds to one every month, following its growth from a one-man firm to over 100 brokers in five years.

The Access FS academies are designed to help bring new mortgage and protection advisers into the industry. The academy, which lasts for 12 months, gives them the training they need whether they aim to become a mortgage adviser, mortgage and protection adviser, or a pure protection adviser.

Furthermore, Access FS also welcomes more experienced brokers who want to become self-employed as a registered individual under Access FS as the principle. This provides them with the opportunity to run their own businesses while also receiving training and compliance help.

“We all know that the average age of a mortgage broker is getting older, so at Access FS we designed our range of academies to bring new people into the industry,” said Access FS CEO, Karl Wilkinson. “We also help people move to become qualified brokers after they have worked in different parts of the mortgage industry or sometimes to become self-employed and have the independence that affords them, after they have been employed for many years.

“The Access FS model builds in support for advisers at all stages. We strive to create a collaborative working environment where brokers are not only supported through the training and guidance we provide them with, but they also provide help and co-operation to each other. We think this makes us quite unique in the industry, which much of the feedback from our brokers is a testament to.”
