Mortgage advisor without CAS

Obviously I could have picked a far better time to change careers but I have all the regulatory mortgage qualifying qualifications but am not CAS. What’s the best way to get CAS and then mortgage advising employment? I have seen a few mortgage courses which offer a path to CAS, have enquired but had no reply (possibly due to Covid).
Any tips would be greatly appreciated

    A lot will come down to you.
    Do you have any experience in Mortgages?
    Do you have a way of generating customers or will you be reliant on the company you work under?
    Are you wanting an employed role or are you open to self employed positions? 

    There are firms and networks who may take you on but if you have no experience in mortgages or financial services and you have no way of generating business beyond friends/family, you might struggle on the self employed route and in the current climate I think employed is probably out of the question.
