Is Rockgate Academy only for people already in financial services? +
No. Rockgate Academy is designed to support beginners, career changers, and learners who want a clearer route into the mortgage industry.
Do you only help with CeMAP? +
No. CeMAP is the starting point, but Rockgate Academy also helps learners understand what comes after qualification and how to think about their pathway into the industry.
Is this suitable if I feel overwhelmed or unsure where to begin? +
Yes. The whole approach is designed to make the journey clearer, simpler, and more supportive for people who need structure and confidence.
Is Rockgate Academy regulated by the FCA? +
No. Rockgate Academy Ltd is a training provider, not a financial services firm. It is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and does not provide regulated financial advice.
Does the bespoke case support replace my CAS supervisor? +
No. Case support helps you understand and prepare a case with more confidence, but it does not replace, override, or substitute your firm's CAS sign-off process. Every case must still be reviewed and confirmed by your own CAS supervisor before submission.
Is Rockgate Academy accredited, endorsed, or approved by the LIBF? +
No. Rockgate Academy is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by the London Institute of Banking & Finance (LIBF). CeMAP is an LIBF qualification, and completing a Rockgate Academy programme does not itself award CeMAP or any LIBF status — you'll still need to register for and sit the CeMAP exam directly through LIBF. The LIBF badge shown on this site is the founder's own personal qualification, not an accreditation of our training.
Does the programme price include the CeMAP exam? +
No. Our programmes cover teaching, revision, and exam preparation only. The CeMAP exam itself must be booked, registered, and sat directly through LIBF, and any exam fees are paid to LIBF separately — they are not included in our programme prices. Rockgate Academy is not responsible for exam registration, scheduling, administration, or outcome; that sits entirely with LIBF.
