Because if you’re about to invest your time and money into a CeMAP provider, you deserve to understand exactly what that actually means (and what it doesn’t).

Inside this episode, we walk you through:

What LIBF accreditation actually is

Why some providers shout about it (and why others don’t)

The assumptions people make about “accredited” providers

The reality of how people actually pass CeMAP exams And more importantly…

What you should really be looking for in a learning provider

Because choosing the right support can be the difference between passing first time… or sitting the same exam four times (yes, I’ve been there). Make sure you check out The Wealthy Advisers Club Platform here: https://www.skool.com/signup?ref=ee8a...

This week on the podcast we're joined by Terry Blackburn, the man who built, scaled and sold one of the UK’s largest brokerages, before turning his focus to coaching and adviser community building.

We're here having a very honest conversation about where the mortgage industry is heading.

The “new breed” of mortgage adviser is not the same as it was ten years ago.

We talk about:

* What the modern adviser looks like

* The shift from transactional advice to long-term client relationships

* Why advisers who build audience and authority will win

But we also get into something that doesn’t get spoken about enoughz the potential loneliness of advice roles.

When you’re self-employed, remote, or building from scratch, it can feel isolating. No team around you. No one to bounce ideas off. No community to grow with.

Terry shares how he’s built a space specifically for advisers who want to grow, connect and scale — and how you can access support, training and community without it costing you anything upfront.

If you’re already qualified, studying CeMAP, or thinking about becoming a mortgage or protection adviser, this episode will open your eyes to what’s possible in this next era of advice.

This week’s episode is a special one.

We had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Sam Lappin, and it turned out to be totally unmissable for anyone who has yet to find their path after they finish CeMAP.

In this episode, we dig into:

* The different routes available after CeMAP

* Employed vs self-employed pathways

* The difference between DA & AR

* The types of support new advisers really need

* The questions people face when they’re nearing the end of their studies

* And why your long-term thinking should start much earlier than most people realise

It was genuinely a pleasure to record. Sam was brilliant, and we'd love to do it again soon.
