CeMAP Courses – How to become a mortgage adviser

To become a mortgage adviser candidates must first pass a professional qualification such as The Certificate in Mortgage Advice and Practice (CeMAP®). CeMAP® is the benchmark professional qualification for any candidate that wants to provide UK mortgage advice as a mortgage adviser. UK mortgages are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which requires all advisers to attain the relevant qualification before they can do so. CeMAP®  is a London Institute of Banking and Finance Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) Level 3 qualification and is listed as an appropriate qualification recognised by the FCA. There are no entry requirements to commence the CeMAP qualification. 

Beware of rogue CeMAP training providers. Only use accredited learning support providers (ALSP’s) to be sure that you receive the best training. Clarity FT is an ALSP which means our materials, training and tutors are vetted once a year by the LIBF.
