DRF says new plans to help people in debt are window dressing

Training Support

BTEC ADVANCED CERTIFICATE IN DEBT RESOLUTION

We are pleased to announce that during October 2008 we launched the new DRF qualification for non-statutory debt advisers. The BTEC Advanced Certificate in Debt Resolution is to be fully accredited by Edexcel on their customised framework at Level 3.

The qualification has been designed in conjunction with leading financial services consultants – Doran Scott Williams (DSW). It will complement the standards required by Mortgage Advisers and Insolvency Practitioners and will significantly enhance the credibility and productivity of non-statutory debt advisers.

The structure of the learning programme

The learning programme is made up of 3 Modules – 

  • Module 1 – UK Financial Services, Debt resolution and Ethics
  • Module 2 – Debt Solutions in Detail
  • Module 3 – Case studies and practical application

The full qualification will require approximately 180 hours of study (circa. 60 hours each module). Study will be via a purpose designed on-line learning and resource system with the option of printing off hard copy learning materials where preferred. This means staff can study at work or at home, in teams or as individuals. The learner’s knowledge and application skills will be formally examined after studying each module, with those successfully passing all 3 becoming qualified. 

The cost is £175 per module per person. 

Qualified adviser’s who become individual members of the DRF, will be entitled to use the designatory letters Cert DRF after their name.  

Training support for firms and their staff 

DSW have developed a suite of optional training support programmes which include - 

  • A 2 day training programme for Supervisors/ Trainers to provide them with all the necessary tools to support their staff during their study.
  • A 4 day on-site training programme per module spread over 3 months, using the dedicated DSW training team to ensure learners have the best chance of success in passing their examination and improving business productivity.
  • A 1 day overview of each module followed by a 1 day revision course prior to the exam, run at the DSW Training Centre in Doncaster.
