Professional Training for Finance Intermediaries.
Berkeley Brokerage delivers specialist training programmes for brokers, intermediaries, and finance professionals — combining legal rigour with practical deal-making knowledge.
Training built for practitioners, not classrooms.
Our programme is designed by active deal professionals and delivered in small cohorts — so every session is grounded in real transactions, current market conditions, and the practical skills that make the difference at the table.

Our training programmes are developed and delivered by Peter Richard Tomlinson — a qualified economist, lawyer, and former KYC officer with over 25 years of experience in financial advisory and legal practice. Every course is grounded in real-world mandates, regulatory frameworks, and the legal protections that intermediaries too often overlook.
