“Wishing to improve my knowledge of mortgage and finance broking and enhance my professional standing, I considered a number of providers of the Diploma. I ultimately chose IFS due to the flexible nature of the course structure and completion requirements and the fact that much of the course content is focussed on practical skill development rather than theory.

My judgement has been proven correct, as I have enjoyed the benefit of being able to complete the program within my other commitments and the content strikes a useful balance between the technical knowledge an experienced broker requires and the skills required to foster rewarding customer relationships.

Much of the material refreshes and reinforces many of the inherent skills successful brokers invariably demonstrate, while Module 2 especially ventured into aspects of which I had little or no knowledge. Hence I’ve extended my education in a meaningful way that can only benefit my performance as a manager within the broking sector.

Given the drive towards making the Diploma the educational requirement for professional brokers to attain, I encourage my fellow colleagues to seriously consider the IFS Diploma as a key step in improving their long term career prospects.”
