Paul Garvin, Mortgage Administrator, HMC, Hamilton Scotland |
"…With the help of this online training program I have a clear and structured study plan, which helps guide me to the most important information to learn rather than waste my time on all the ‘padding’ that fills the course material. I have found it much easier to just log in and do the training as and when time allows... the bits where you talk through the calculations are very good and it's as good as classroom training and feels like I'm getting one to one support. Overall I am very impressed and would definitely recommend it to anyone..." E.P., Newport |

"I recently passed CF1 after only 3 weeks of study and this is mainly down to the revision aids supplied by Brand Financial Training.

So what will it cost you to get firmly on the path to CF1 exam Success with our Pass CF1 First Time online training program?
You can pay around £200.00 for a one-day intensive face-to-face revision course. Plus you have additional costs of travel, food, accommodation, time off work. You could easily be looking at £300.00 in total. Not to mention the fact that it’s impossible to get the most out of a one-day course simply because nobody can stay alert for that length of time.
Then if you sit the exam and fail, you will have to pay another £90.00 to re-sit!... and more time off work. It gets expensive!
We’re offering an entire training program and a whole new learning experience at your convenience. That's as well as the additional bonuses we’ve thrown in for you. Just the convenience alone is easily worth the £200.00 you'd pay for a face-to-face training program, but our aim is to help those who most need to get their hands on this training program. Therefore, the investment in yourself is only £83 per user.
Monthly Payments Available
You also have the option of paying in easy monthly payments. You can opt for one single payment of £83, or three monthly payments of only £29. That’s less than the cost of a night out!
