Staff Training & Accreditation


Specialist Automotive Finance (SAF) provides knowledge based motor finance learning to boost professionalism and increase consumer confidence in motor finance.  The Finance & Leasing Association (FLA) launched SAF in 2007 which has recently been expanded to create a pathway of learning for staff at all levels of their career.

SAF Approved status provides recognition for companies who have voluntarily put all of their customer facing staff, involved in the sale of motor finance, successfully through the SAF Expert test.  SAF Expert is now accredited by The London Institute of Banking & Finance. This means that the Institute has reviewed and approved the standards and quality of the programme.

This certificate provides an assurance to finance customers that they are receiving information from a knowledgeable company, whose staff are committed to raising standards and improving knowledge of finance sold to private and business vehicle buyers.
