Doing a CeMap/CMA to become a Mortgage Advisor. Is it worth it?

lazymoezy

Basically, I went to a interview for a quick discussion on my background and what this so called financial traing academy offers.

Being based in Bank, Central London, in a very sophisticated building and getting good reviews on the net I have become some what interested in this idea.

It is basically like going to college and getting a NVQ Level 3 equivilant certificate, I really like to idea and have researched about the job and is something that interests me more than continuing into Year 2 of Univerversity, where I study Business Management.

I really dont know what to do.....do this 28-30 day course and get the CMA which is more advanced than CeMap and be in a full time job with good money or continue with University.

Before I forget, sorry about spelling etc I am really tired after a looooong days work!

The course costs around £4,100....I think that is quite a lot after seeing some quote on the net...I just dont know, what are your thoughts on these training academies and what would YOU reccomend!

Really look forward to hearing from you guys!

Thanks in advance,

is now the best time to be investing a five figure sum to have a career in an industry that is struggling? i don't know what courses are good/bad/indifferent, but it is a very uncertain time in anything associated with property (for estate agents, builders, solictors etc).

i'd recommend getting your degree and seeing where that takes you. if you get this qualification will it guarentee you a job anyway? or is it an expensive way of narrowing your options?

if you head over the house prices board, there are quite a few mortgage advisors on there who can give you specific advice on what course is best, but this sounds like a very risky plan to me.
