Building society launches CPD accredited courses

Dudley Building Society has unveiled a range of CPD accredited self-study learning activities that provide information on the expat, self-build, holiday let and self-employed mortgage markets.

The society suggested the courses are aimed specifically at advisers wishing to expand their understanding of sectors in the specialist lending market.

Designed to provide information on the main drivers behind consumer demand in the market, Dudley added that they detail case study examples of how the society has lent in these areas in the past.

Commercial director, Sam Ward, commented: “Interest in specialist lending is continuing to grow, judging from the enquiries we receive and the number of requests for information by financial advisers.

“The CPD accredited activities we have devised seek to improve understanding of less well known niches which are gaining greater visibility and require a wider knowledge base.

“Apart from picking up valuable CPD points, we believe that many advisers will benefit from our online e-learning courses by further understanding our approach, enabling these advisers to offer wider funding solutions in these increasingly important areas.”
