A new specialist training programme has been launched to help support new and aspiring mortgage and protection advisors.
Launched by The Right Mortgage & Protection Network (TRM), the programme is designed to provide the knowledge, skills and support that they need.
Offering structured learning alongside hands-on experience and supervision, The Right Academy is targeted at new entrants to the industry, particularly those working towards competent adviser status (CAS).
Recruits on the programme begin as trainees and are supported by dedicated compliance and supervision managers, as well as TRM’s training and compliance teams.
Structured training
The programme includes a three-day induction, bespoke support through sign-off, ongoing training towards CAS, specialist masterclasses, training designed to help advisers generate their own leads and a structured route to becoming an appointed representative (AR).
TRM has also launched a new supervision hub on its adviser website. This provides additional tools and resources to support advisers and firms through the non-CAS process.
Ben Allen, managing director at The Right Mortgage & Protection Network, said: “At a time when the industry is facing a clear need to attract and retain new talent, initiatives like The Right Academy are essential. It is not just about bringing more people into the sector but about doing so in the right way, with the structure, oversight and long-term opportunities that set them up for success.
“This is something I feel incredibly passionate about. This industry has been very good to me, and The Right Academy is about opening the door for others to build the same rewarding careers, while helping to improve the sector, increase diversity and give something back.
He said the training initiative will also help to future-proof the industry. “For TRM, this is about strengthening the quality and resilience of our network for years to come. By investing in people at the very start of their journey, we are helping to build a stronger, more sustainable adviser community that benefits firms, clients and the wider market.”
