The programme at Just Mortgages’ broker academy – which was launched in 2017 – caters to applicants who have some knowledge of mortgages through time spent working in the industry, within the estate agency sector or in the wider financial services market.
Just Mortgages’ national academy programme supports classes of up to 15, whittled down from over 500 applicants.
Those accepted onto the programme will hone skills essential for becoming a successful mortgage broker, receive support through exams, and receive training on soft skills and lead generation.
Rodney Sloan, head of learning and development at Just Mortgages, said: “It’s a tremendous source of pride for us to nurture new talent entering the mortgage industry through our academy. We are committed to providing aspiring advisers with the ideal launching pad into a successful career in financial advice.
“We tailor the course to meet the individual needs, expertise, and existing experience of our trainees, ensuring they receive personalised support every step of the way.”
These skills include developing an understanding of the sales process and building strong client relationships and a clear line of questioning to discern and address client needs effectively. The course also focuses on protection, including critical illness coverage, income protection, and life insurance.
The broker academy is part of a series of four planned for 2024.
