Steps After CeMAP? Career Routes & Networks

Steps After CeMAP? Career Routes & Networks

Author: Charlotte Hemmingway February 13, 2026 Duration: 24:21

This week’s episode is a special one.

We had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Sam Lappin, and it turned out to be totally unmissable for anyone who has yet to find their path after they finish CeMAP.

In this episode, we dig into:

* The different routes available after CeMAP

* Employed vs self-employed pathways

* The difference between DA & AR

* The types of support new advisers really need

* The questions people face when they’re nearing the end of their studies

* And why your long-term thinking should start much earlier than most people realise

It was genuinely a pleasure to record. Sam was brilliant, and we'd love to do it again soon.
