SAF App gets shortlisted for the Best technology initiative award

FIMTRAC, part of the RTS Group, has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Best technology initiative award at the 2019 Financial Innovation Awards, presented by The London Institute of Banking & Finance.

SAF Advanced, which at Level 3 puts the motor finance industry’s training on an equal footing with the professional courses required in other markets, is now also available on a new app-based learning platform, SAF Advanced Academy.

The SAF Academy App was designed to support front line business managers and professionals in the automotive finance sector to study and achieve the SAF Advanced qualification offered by the London Institute of banking and Finance, allowing professionals to demonstrate their competence and expertise.

The app follows the established SAF Advanced syllabus and presents the material in a more interactive format – users can also track their progress, then the app identifies those areas where more study is needed and will generate tests to check the user’s development.

John Brannigan, Managing Director of FIMTRAC said: “We are delighted to have the SAF Academy App recognised on the shortlist for these awards, allowing finance professionals to study at their own pace and in a style that suits them – via their smartphone”
