What is SAF Testing?
SAF Testing, or Specialist Automotive Finance (SAF) Test, is a comprehensive accreditation program designed to ensure that professionals in the motor trade possess the necessary knowledge and skills to responsibly handle motor finance transactions. Developed by the Finance and Leasing Association (FLA) in collaboration with industry experts, SAF Testing sets the standard for excellence in automotive finance knowledge.

SAF Testing provides a structured framework for individuals to deepen their understanding of finance-related aspects within the automotive industry.
