The society is targeting advisers, who would like to expand their understanding of sectors of the specialist lending market, with the new offering.

Indeed, the courses have been designed to provide information on the main drivers behind consumer demand in the market and will detail case study examples of how Dudley Building Society has lent in these areas in the past.

Sam Ward, commercial director for Dudley Building Society said: “Interest in specialist lending is continuing to grow, judging from the enquiries we receive and the number of requests for information by financial advisers.

“The CPD accredited activities we have devised seek to improve understanding of less well known niches which are gaining greater visibility and require a wider knowledge base.

“Apart from picking up valuable CPD points, we believe that many advisers will benefit from our online e-learning courses by further understanding our approach, enabling these advisers to offer wider funding solutions in these increasingly important areas.”
