The 12-week Pathway to competence course is the first of its kind in the mortgage industry and supports new brokers as they transition from getting their CeMAP to advising clients
Designed by Just Mortgages training team of experienced former brokers, the course includes a full-day masterclass session that includes advice from a lender on progressing cases and a session from on criteria.
The Just Mortgages’ academy gives them all the skills they need, and this follow-on course gives them the confidence and experience to give expert advice.
“Investing time in our brokers as they make the first steps in their careers is a crucial part of ensuring they are successful.” Heidi Smith, adviser development manager and curator of the Just Mortgages’ course explained.
“The mortgage market is a very fast-paced industry so brokers need to hit the ground running, and the first few weeks and months can be overwhelming. Our role is to ensure brokers can come to us with any questions and our course is designed to make every broker a success.” She added.
“Most newly qualified brokers were asking us about the research stage of the process and by helping them through the procedure, we can give them the confidence to flourish.”
45 brokers qualified through the Just Mortgages academy in 2021, and the broker firm has plans for even more academies in 2022. The first academy of the year has completed and 12 brokers are currently going through the subsequent Pathway to competence course.
One of those who recently completed the course, Kabir Kussa said: “We can call Heidi when we’re stuck or if we need that extra push, and by we, I mean everyone who has graduated from the academy. Because I am sure they will all agree that she’s an absolute asset to Just Mortgages.”
The course is the latest benefit for brokers that come through the Just Mortgages academy, as not only do they receive expert training and tuition and support from area directors after they graduate, they also are supported with any queries they may have in the first three-months of their careers.
