Is this course right for me?

“It was the best money advice course I have ever attended. I was fully engaged throughout the day and learnt a lot from the course. When I enrolled on the course I expected it to be quite dry but Alan is a great tutor. The course started with a brief history (powerpoint presentation) of the poll tax riots and council tax, which was really interesting, as I was born in 1986 so although I had heard of the poll tax, I didn’t really know much about it.

Learning that clients could apply for a Discretionary Reduction pursuant to s13A(1)(c) of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 to effectively remove their liability to pay council tax, was a game changer. I had no idea this was available… I was aware of the Local Government Ombudsman but never knew of the existence of the Valuation Tribunal. I also learnt lots of other useful information on the course, regarding Liability Orders and tactics to use with Bailiffs/Local Council… The training has given me a lot of confidence as an advisor. The first thing I did when I returned to the office was email the whole debt team informing them of the main things I learned on the course.”
