Are there any entry requirements for CeMAP?

CeMAP Information

The CeMAP qualification is necessary in order to pursue a career as a mortgage advisor, but is just anyone able to achieve it? There can be nothing more frustrating than knowing the career path you wish to follow and what qualifications are needed to do so, only to find that you cannot meet the entry requirements necessary to get started.

This particular course generally consists of three different parts: CeMAP 1, CeMAP 2 and CeMAP 3, each of which covers a different area of knowledge that an advisor needs. CeMAP 1 deals with financial regulations in the UK, while CeMAP 2 covers mortgages and CeMAP 3 focuses on the assessment of mortgage knowledge and advice.

This can sound somewhat daunting to someone who does not have much in the way of formal academic training or experience, but there are, in fact, no strict entry requirements when taking a course with a CeMAP training company.

Maths and English to at least GCSE level are considered advantageous, in order to show you to have a suitable level of numeracy and literacy, but there are no specific qualifications or grades needed. This makes it a career path open to virtually anyone who has a genuine interest in financial services and advice.

Furthermore, as a course of CeMAP study can be completed in as little as six months, you have the opportunity to embark on your career very quickly, provided you are prepared to work hard to pass the course.
