Competent Adviser provides web-based training and a competence testing solution, designed by mortgage, compliance, training and IT professionals.
Members will be able to access the new service as part of the general range of services available to them. There will be no charges levied by networkone for use of Competent Adviser.
“We are delighted to have joined forces with Competent Adviser. They are a great team,” said Terry Markham, managing director of networkone. “The system that we are now able to offer to our members is extremely user-friendly – and it caters for the professional needs of networkone members.”
Among the other online solutions also available to members are recruitment aids, a personalised CPD programme, supervisory and reporting functions, and fully compliant regulatory audit trails.
In addition, members can also access Competent Adviser’s comprehensive, regularly-updated Knowledge Zone – an industry research tool that ensures intermediaries remain fully updated about regulatory and product developments.
Chris Heard, managing director of Competent Adviser, said: “Mortgage intermediaries are now working in a highly pressurised environment – and that pressure is going to become more intense over the coming months.”
