Which course should I start with?

Most mortgage advisers start with CeMAP. Add the CeMAP Diploma once you are qualified, CeRER for equity release, the Certificate in Protection for protection advice, or CertLTCP for care funding advice.

Do the courses include the practice papers?

Yes. Every course opens every papers and quizzes pack for its qualification, so you do not need to buy them separately. The CeMAP Diploma course also includes the Part B practice cases.

How long do I keep access?

There is no expiry date. What you buy stays on the account you signed in with.

Can I try before I buy?

Yes. Every qualification has a free, timed Paper A you can sit without a card.

Are exam fees included?

No. You register and pay for exams with LIBF or the CII. Archway Learn sells independent study materials and is not affiliated with or endorsed by either.

Can my firm buy courses for several advisers?

Yes. Use the firm-training enquiry and we will quote the seats and invoice after we agree the list.

The FCA and Consumer Duty

8 min read

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) sets the rules that apply to every UK mortgage adviser. Consumer Duty sits on top of those rules: you must act in good faith, avoid foreseeable harm, and help customers achieve their financial objectives.

Key points

Treating customers fairly is not optional — it is assessed in every advice file.
Document why the recommended product meets the customer’s needs and objectives.

How the courses work

Study around work. Cover the syllabus. Practise as you go.

Built as independent study support — not a classroom timetable and not an awarding-body product.

Written lessons

Reviewed lessons in syllabus order. Read them on your phone at lunch or on a study day — the course remembers where you are.

A quiz after every topic

Exam-style questions while the topic is fresh, so gaps show up before you sit a full timed paper.

Papers and progress

Timed papers with worked answers and topic scores, and a progress bar that counts every lesson, quiz, and paper.
