Thanks for posting. I am a lawyer dealing with the legals of Equity Release so I come across many ER illustrations, advice from the main players. Being curious, I started to research what quals ER's/mort advisors need and so on............... I've landed here. LIBF or CII seems to be what I have found out. From a personal point of view... I am likely to undertake exams from one of those bodies because I have an interest in learning. Salaries seem to be comparable to lawyers with 4 years plus experience without the 6 years start to finish to become a lawyer/barrister/.solicitor etc. I will stick to being a lawyer though... 😀
Thank you for your excellent videos. With regard to CII qualifications it appears that you must have R01 . What is the difference between CF1 and R01 . Would it be better to do R01 instead of CF1 so that you can use the pass on R01 on other qualifications of CII-Many Thanks
Hi There, You can have either R01 or CF1 for the Certificate in Mortgage Advice so it doesn't matter on that front. I'm not too sure what other qualifications you could use R01 with but if that is an option that sounds like a good idea. Thanks for your comment - I hope this helps. Kind regards, Taylor Maddock Marketing Executive
Hi Navneet, You should only need one of these qualifications to provide Mortgage Advice. If you are just starting your career, we have a blog that you may find useful "The COMPLETE guide to becoming a Mortgage Advisor in 2021" - bit.ly/3BYMtjd Any more questions please let me know.

Hi! Great video, appreciate the content. I have a couple questions when you have time, I am currently considering a career switch to a self-employed Mortgage Advisor. I will be mentored by a friend, he currently runs his own business with 2000 clients. I would be working alongside him, starting with his training, guidance, and leads. This will be a complete career switch for me (Currently a Personal Trainer). Would you consider this to be a good avenue to start? Even with no experience? Lastly, how much revision/ time is required to pass the CF1 and CF6 exams? Could you pass in months? Years? Providing hours of daily revision. Thanks a lot for your help.
Hi J.M, Thank you, means a lot! That sounds a great opportunity for you and seems that it should definitely get you well underway on your journey as a Mortgage Advisor. Often the two obstacles for Trainees is access to leads and mentoring, which sounds like you have both! In respect of CF1 & CF6, with hours of daily revision and opportunity to apply your on the job learning, I would imagine you would have both passed in both within months. Ryan
Hi Sir, Im looking to move to canada next year but would like to gain some experience and study while im here in uk.I can not study the Ontario Mortgage agent course as of now as im out of Canada.What best advice can you offer me?(My goal is to land in canada with some sort of mortgage advisor experience),I'll apprecite your response :)
Hi There, Thank you for your comment, it is likely that the Canadian Mortgage Advisor market is very different to the UK market so my advice to you would be to look into how you can best tailor your experience to this market as they will not likely accept UK experience. I would suggest making a start on the Canadian qualification(s) so that you have something to show potential employers. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Taylor Maddock Marketing Executive
