cerer  Courses – How to become an Equity Release Adviser

To become an Equity Release adviser candidates must first pass a professional qualification such as The Certificate in Regulated Equity Release (CeRER®). CeRER is the benchmark professional qualification for any candidate that wants to provide UK Equity Release advice. Equity release refers to circumstances when candidates over a certain age can release equity from their main residence to fund retirement or long term care without the need to sell their home. UK mortgages and Equity Release schemes are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which requires all advisers to attain the relevant qualification before they can do so. CeRER®  is a London Institute of Banking and Finance Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) Level 3 qualification and is listed as an appropriate qualification recognised by the FCA. Candidates must already be CeMAP qualified (See here).
