April marks the beginning of a new era for Mortgage Broking education for TMA; FNS50504 Diploma of Financial Services (Finance/Mortgage Broking Management).

The course has been available for some time, but delivered via correspondence ONLY.

In April, TMA will be the first training provider to deliver this qualification regularly face-to-face.

The course is a 3 day upgrade for those that have attained FNS40804 Certificate IV in Financial Services (Finance/Mortgage Broking), and have over 2 years recent Mortgage Broking experience.

Subject areas are:

1. Risk Management
2. Commercial Lending
3. Building 3^rd party referrals/networks

Upon successful completion Mortgage Brokers will be competent:

• identifying and assessing RISKs, which would include diversifying their income streams to other financial products IE. Commercial loans or Insurance
• identifying complex broking options, presenting them to their clients and implementing them
• developing and nurturing relationships with clients, other professionals and 3^rd party referrals

The cost for the 3 days is $1,750 per person.  Other providers charge up to $1,000 per person for distance/correspondence and place a time limit on completion. Perspective on price, we charge $4,800 for FNS50804 Diploma of Financial Services (Financial Planning), so it is an amazing opportunity to gain a Diploma.

As an introductory special, TMA will provide a 20% discount for those that enroll in the first 3 months of April, May and June. This reduces the cost to $1,400 per person.  Training is conducted in Melbourne, Sydney and Gold Coast, places are limited.

There are CPD points available and, also, upon successful completion you can update your business cards with the following abbreviation, Dip FS (FMBM).

For those of you that have 2 years experience, but are yet to get your Certificate IV in Financial Services (Finance/Mortgage Broking), TMA provide a 1 day assessment that can be completed prior to the Diploma.

I hope you find this information useful going forward.
