Mortgage Advice Bureau has opened a learning and development centre nearby to its head office in Derby to help train new advisers.

The MAB academy has so far seen over 300 students complete their training to become fully qualified mortgage and protection advisers..

In 2019, it won the Princess Royal Training Award, under which Princess Anne selects UK employers that have made an impact through their skills development work. 

The new MAB learning and development centre has space for 20 students to work across two floors.

The top-floor is a seminar room while the bottom has a recording studio which will allow MAB staff to create e-learning materials.

MAB head of learning and development David Bedlow says: “It is very exciting to announce the opening of our new learning and development centre. 

“This is a dedicated facility for our learners and will ensure we continue to develop and improve our offering.

“Due to the popularity of courses, we’ve always held the academy offsite at purpose-built facilities which has impacted on its results in a positive way. “This new facility will allow us to do similar with all of our other in-house programmes.”
