Is a CeMAP training course right for me? 

Completing your CeMAP training and earning your qualification is your 'licence to practice' and is mandatory for Mortgage Advisers in the UK, however, there are no official prerequisites to enrol onto this CeMAP course. We recommend that you first complete CeMAP 1 training, to earn your full licence and be able to work in the industry. 

If you’re looking to become a Mortgage Adviser and provide a vital service to home buyers, this course is the best way forward. 

After successfully passing the full CeMAP training course, you can either join one of the many practising firms, a bank or work as a self-employed independent Adviser. The choice is yours!

Is this course valid in Scotland?

CeMAP is a widely recognised mortgage qualification that can be studied and practiced in England, Wales and Scotland. While this course is based on the England and Wales syllabus, the Scottish regulatory framework for mortgage advice is closely aligned with the English framework. The slight differences between the English and Scottish modules are specifically in Module 2: Mortgage Advice Procedures, and Module 3: Mortgage Practice Issues. These differences are related to the specific legal and regulatory requirements that apply to mortgage advisors in each country.

Therefore, you can complete this CeMAP course and apply for a Scottish mortgage adviser's license without having to retake any of the modules. 

To make sure that you meet the requirements for practicing as a mortgage adviser in Scotland, you should inform the London Institute of Banking & Finance (LIBF) when you register for the CeMAP course that you are a Scottish student. The LIBF will then ensure that you receive the correct course materials and will guide you through the process of applying for a Scottish mortgage adviser's license.
