______________________________________________________________________________________________________

STAGE 1
You will be asked to complete a comprehensive questionaire and application form along with supplying 2 references. In addition we will also need to carry out CRB checks (Criminal Records Bureau)

STAGE 2
Assuming stage 1 is all okay you will then be invited to attend an interview. We will be assessing your suitability as an agent, your commitment and also give all of us the opportunity to learn more about each other, don't worry, we are not going to put you under any pressure, it is merely to get to know you.

STAGE 3
In the last stage of the process we will secure your desired area, discuss with you the initial procedures, terms and conditions and licensing agreement and so on. At this stage you will also be introduced (if not already done so) to your appointed mentor and all your materials needed to operate as an agent will be presented to you. Your first objective is to get your office set up and running (whether from home or other) so that you can begin to accept enquiries following our marketing campaign. Then we will arrange your insurance, memberships and BTEC course and so on.

Due to the nature of the work, having a criminal record would seriously hinder your ability to offer certain services.
