New asset finance qualification launched

A new qualification has been launched for the asset finance industry by The London Institute of Banking & Finance.

Launched in association with the Finance and Leasing Association the Diploma in Asset Finance has been designed for those looking to better understand the asset finance sector.

Martin Day, vice principal, corporate & professional qualifications, at The London Institute of Banking & Finance, said: “It is often said that sole traders and SMEs are the backbone of the economy, but they can only be successful if they have access to finance which supports their businesses and enables them to grow. Providing those professionals who work in asset finance with additional skills and sector knowledge will only benefit the end user and we’re confident the DipAF will reinforce the high standards and expertise that define the industry.”

Stephen Sklaroff, director general of the FLA, added: “By investing in the future of the asset finance sector, we are helping to secure its vital role in the UK’s business funding landscape.”
