About the qualification

A lot has changed in the mortgage sector in recent years. How do you keep up to date to ensure you can best support your customers?

The need to understand a wider range of options, solutions, risks, and implications, has never been greater for a mortgage professional.

You’ll expand your knowledge of the mortgage advice process, and learn about:

  • specialist mortgage products

  • why customer-focused advice matters

  • why sound communication and ethical behaviour are so important.

Develop your understanding of the financial impacts of both global and personal changes for your mortgage customers. With this new knowledge you’ll be better equipped to assess the risks which might apply to them and provide tailored advice to suit their needs.
