What Our Graduates Say
“Changing careers in my 40s felt daunting, but the course gave me the knowledge and confidence I needed. Within a month of passing, the team’s contacts helped me land two interviews.”
Edward Blake
“I wrapped up my CeMAP training and just six weeks later secured a trainee adviser role at a Manchester brokerage. The CV guidance and recruiter support from your team made all the difference.”
SOFIA GREEN
“The lessons were clear and easy to follow—even around my full-time job—the real standout was the post-course support. They refined my CV, linked me with a recruiter, and I’m now advising clients every day.”

Frequently Asked Questions
CeMAP Training & Preparation
Everything you need to know about qualifying, studying, and getting support through CeMAP.
How long does it take to complete the CeMAP qualification?
Most learners complete all 3 modules in 3–6 months with part-time study; our structured resources help you stay on track.
What support do I get during CeMAP training?
You'll have access to tutor Q&A, exam prep webinars, mock exams, and peer discussion groups.
Getting Hired as an Employed Mortgage Adviser
Insights into landing your first role, entry salaries, and how to stand out.
Do I need prior finance experience?
No. Many brokerages value newly CeMAP‑qualified advisers they can train to their systems
How soon can I expect to land a role after passing?
With an updated CV, most graduates secure interviews within 2–6 weeks; our Job Board accelerates this.
What salary and commission package is typical?
Entry salaries range £25–35k with 10–30 % commission overrides once you’re advising independently.
How can I stand out in interviews?
Demonstrate product knowledge, regulatory awareness (KYC/AML), and strong client‑service examples.
Job Search & Progression
Understand what day-to-day work looks like and how your career can grow.
Will I need to cold-call or sell aggressively?
Most roles focus on warm leads or repeat clients; our training helps you build confidence with ethical, consultative selling.
What’s the career progression like after becoming an adviser?
Many advisers progress to team leader, compliance manager, or even set up their own brokerage within 3–5 years.
Can I work part-time as a mortgage adviser?
Yes, many brokerages offer part-time or flexible roles, especially for self-employed advisers. While employed roles are typically full-time, part-time options may be available depending on your experience and the firm’s structure.
Is remote advising possible in this role?
Absolutely. Many mortgage firms now support hybrid or fully remote models, using secure digital platforms for meetings, ID checks, and documentation. This is especially common for advisers working independently or within modern broker networks.
Starting Your Own Mortgage Business
Key steps, costs, and options for launching your self-employed advising career.
Should I join a network or apply for direct FCA authorisation?
Networks offer faster market access and compliance support; direct authorisation gives full independence but costs more and takes longer.
How long does FCA approval take?
8–12 weeks if your application pack is complete—our Authorisation Roadmap reduces common delays.
What start-up costs should I budget?
Expect £3–5k for FCA fees, PI insurance, sourcing software, and basic marketing in year 1.
Do I need additional qualifications beyond CeMAP?
CeMAP meets the minimum requirement; add CeRER or protection modules to expand your service range.
How do I generate my first leads?
Use our Brand & Lead‑Gen Kit: local‑SEO website template, social content calendar, and referral scripts proven to convert.
Qualification Validity & Ongoing Requirements
Stay compliant and informed on CPD and maintaining your CeMAP credentials.
Will my CeMAP units expire if I don’t get a job quickly?
Your qualification doesn’t lapse, but CPD is required annually once you begin advising.
