Finance Education Centre

Raising standards in asset and commercial finance

Expert-led training for brokers, funders and finance professionals, built on real industry experience and designed to support better knowledge, stronger teams and long-term careers.

About us

Practical finance training, shaped around the people and businesses we support

Finance Education Centre was created to provide high-quality training for brokers, funders and finance professionals across the asset and commercial finance sectors.

We launched in May 2024 after taking over the Broker Academy from Asset Finance Solutions, building on an established training programme and widening the support available to the industry.

Today, our training can be delivered as standalone modules, structured learning pathways or bespoke programmes shaped around the needs of your team, your business and the people you want to develop.

Our trainers have worked with leading names across the industry

Our trainer panel

Meet Your Trainers

At the Finance Education Centre, we are proud to work with a panel of trainers who are experts in their field. Many have worked with well-known names across the industry, including Lombard, NatWest, Propel and Asset Finance Solutions.

Collectively, they bring many years of experience across financial services, using real examples and practical insight to make each session relevant to the people in the room.

  • Balanced perspective: Our trainers have worked both funder-side and broker-side, helping delegates understand the market from more than one angle.
  • Relevant expertise: We can match trainers to your business based on subject knowledge, location, experience and the type of support your team needs.
  • Continuity where needed: For longer programmes, you may wish to keep the same trainer across a number of sessions. Subject to availability, we are happy to arrange this.

Our trainer network is a key part of what we do. They understand the challenges of the industry and share a genuine interest in helping people develop their knowledge, confidence and professionalism.

“We want more people to see business finance as a sector where they can learn, develop and build a long-term career.”
