ifs School of Finance has launched a higher level mortgage qualification, offering advisers the ability to advance their learning beyond CeMAP.

The ifs Diploma in Mortgage Advice and Practice (DipMAP) will enable holders of CeMAP or equivalent to gain advanced market and product knowledge, and widen their advice giving skills.

Developed in consultation with mortgage advisors, the DipMAP is aimed at helping advisers evidence a high level of competence and increase their ability to offer the best customer solutions.

Anne Kiem, vice principal at the ifs School of Finance, said: “While the financial crisis has brought many challenges to the mortgage market, there still remains opportunity for growth and diversification, particularly in the area of highly specialised mortgage advice.

“Increased regulation in the advice sector is here to stay and there can also be little doubt that product complexity will continue to increase across mortgage types in years to come. In such an environment, advanced qualifications like DipMAP can really come to the fore in helping advisers stand out from the crowd.”

DipMAP is a distance learning course that runs over nine months, divided into two units – Financial Services, Regulation and Ethics, and Advanced Mortgage Advice.
