ER1 Equity Release

ER1 Equity Release Course Overview

The ER1 Equity Release exam forms part of the Certificate in Equity Release and upon successful completion will give you 15 credits at certificate level.

The study schedule is split into a three-week learning programme. We would recommend that you allow yourself around a week after the programme finishes to consolidate your learning, practice taking some examinations and revise. This means that you should leave yourself around 4 weeks from starting the programme, to taking the exam.

As part of our structured study plan, rather than just giving you a book and expecting you to read it and learn, we will be providing an interactive and structured journey to help you through your studies.

We have broken the key learning outcomes down into various areas that will be rolled out over the 3 week study schedule for you to study as you go. The learning materials will include written summaries of the material covered in the form of a study guide that you can print off and read through. As well as this and alongside the specific learning material, you will find links to other useful documents that will help with your study.
