Modules for the Certificate in Mortgage Advice Practice (CeMAP) will be available from 15 June, with the Certificate in Regulated Equity Release (CeRER) following from 6 July.

The LIBF said it was making the move after “rigorous testing and a number of successful pilots”.

Roll-out of the full schedule starts on 10 June with the first unit of the Diploma for Financial Advisers (DipFA).

Mark Heaton, managing director of corporate and professional learning, said courses and qualifications were delivered predominantly online, so remote invigilation was something the LIBF had already been exploring and piloting.

“With physical exams being cancelled, we knew we had to look at making remote invigilation available more widely, and quickly,” he said.

“This is particularly important where exams form the licence to practice, as is the case with regulated advice.

“We’ve worked closely with our providers to develop robust systems and, even though it’s still relatively early days, we can now open up access more widely.

“This is not just a contingency arrangement though. LIBF will retain the remote invigilation option alongside centre-based delivery for the long term, to give students a choice about how and where to sit their examinations,” he added.

The full schedule and how to register can be obtained from the LIBF.
