There is a minimum level of qualification that is required in order to give mortgage advice to clients. I have a higher level of mortgage qualification, which is currently the highest available known as a Diploma in Mortgage Advice and Practice. The Diploma in Mortgage Advice and Practice (DipMAP) is a QCF Level 4 qualification for individuals who wish to gain a higher level of skills and knowledge for mortgage advice and demonstrate their commitment to continual learning. DipMAP enables mortgage professionals to set themselves apart from their peers and to go beyond the basic Level 3 qualification requirement. It demonstrates to clients that holders have an enriched understanding of the broader financial services environment and the residential lending sector in the interests of providing high quality, ethical advice to consumers.
