After some career advice (cefa/ cemap)

I have no epxertise to offer but why don't you contact some banks/building societies, tell them what you would like to do and see what they tell you?

And you can tell my lack of expertise by my spelling above

Due to redundancies and brokers looking to jump into a safer positions with banks the market is flooded with CeMAP qualified people.

Unless you've got a least five years experience as an advisor you have no chance of gettting a banking/building society job as a mortgage adviser. You might be able to get some kind of lower paid non advisery/ call centre work but that defeats the whole object of doing CeMAP.

The simple truth at the moment is that if you are paying to do CeMAP and you have no lengthy industry experience you are probably wasting your money.

hey, first and foremost i must say this is a very good forum, really good at advice etc..

I am in the same situation as jimmy but with a bit of an advantage i reckon, I have got myself good grades in school and college and have also achieved a Level 3 qual in AAT, i also own my own claims management company where my legislation allows me to deal with mortgages/finances as a 3rd party company (basically sell mortgages and get paid commision)furthermore i also work as a Customer Service Advisor in an o2 call centre, i am 19 years old and im intrested in doin the CeMap course, will my background help me become a Competant mortgage advisor quicker..??

Thank You
