Independent participants (operating as ‘external’ partnership brokers)
75-80% of those taking the Partnership Brokers Training are ‘internal partnership brokers’ – but the remaining 20-25% are those operating as independent (‘external’) partnership brokers or they are individuals who take the course with a view to becoming independent practitioners.
