About this course: 

The Mortgage Broker Fundamentals – Practical Applications Course is a class for new or aspiring brokers, and for persons who manage them. It provides practical knowledge and skills needed to function as a mortgage broker.

The course is split into two parts, the first part concerns practical matters a mortgage broker needs to know to operate in the field while the second addresses brokering practice requirements. The first part will make you a better and hopefully more successful broker. It will support what it takes for a broker to earn income. The second will protect you by better ensuring you are entitled to continue as a broker and to keep the income you earn. It will help keep you out of trouble with your clients, the regulator, and the courts.

The course is taught by a variety of senior brokers, experts, and others with considerable knowledge of the topics they address. It is better that a student learns from a variety of perspectives and hears a variety of knowledgeable voices.

It was great being able to connect with the various speakers. It was great to have actual brokers come in and speak.

Discovering the mortgage broker course was a game-changer; I only wished I had known about it earlier. Nonetheless, I firmly believe that this comprehensive course should be a mandatory requirement for all newcomers entering the industry. The unparalleled access to industry leaders and their insights was an exceptional experience that left me empowered and ready to tackle challenges. I know CMBABC will be an instrumental part of my future success. For that, I am forever grateful!
