L119 UPO Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 This may go some way to helphttp://www.ifslearning.ac.uk/careers/caree...age_adviser.cfmSounds as though you have a good oppertunity mate. Just watch out that it's not one of these things where you have to pay X amount of ££££ to be trained and be part of a franchise (no sales no salary) type of things.If it's a proper oppertunity to be trained and then be given a job then that is a rare thing to be offered, but I would bite there hand off for it.So long as you are interested in it and are a sales personallity/customer focused with the ability to learn, youll be onto a good thing.The qualification might be CeMAP or something similar, but getting into this will also give you the oppertunity to gain CeFA aswell which is for financial advisors.an IFA can earn £100,000 a year, it's a good business to be in if you get the right oppertunities.

L119 UPO Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Id spend time doing lots of research about the Mortgage industry and the company if you know who they are, also what the role involves. All you need is the web to do this.good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
