Course Summary
Monarch Institute delivers highly practical nationally-recognised training for the finance and mortgage broking profession. Today, we’re changing the way that new brokers (and seasoned veterans) get ahead in their practice. You’ll benefit from the leadership of experienced industry educators. Like Shane Watson, with 20 years experience as a self-employed Finance Broker and extensive experience and qualifications in the finance, investment, and property industries.
Your Monarch Institute qualification isn’t just a piece of paper you get to tick a box for compliance. It’s your ticket to a stellar career in brokerage. You’ll be taught by experienced brokers, so you’ll learn the ins and outs of the industry. The insider info you can only get when you’re fully supported in your learning by people who really know their stuff. It’s more than just theory and textbooks. It’s an investment in your future – on your terms.
With the state of Australia’s housing market, and the number of mortgage products out there, there’s never been a greater need for quality advice. But as a broker, you won’t just be helping people get in to their first homes or investment properties. You’ll also be helping families grow their businesses, entrepreneurs get their start-ups off the ground, and more. Being a good broker isn’t just about closing deals. It’s about making sure that your clients get what’s right for their needs, and that the administration is handled effectively. Professional brokers may form decades-long relationships with their clients, so you’ll also need great people skills.
When you’ve finished the Diploma, you’ll be eligible to join some of Australia’s peak bodies for finance broking professionals as an accredited member. This course will allow you to provide advice on complex loan structures.
Even if you don’t end up working full time as a broker, you could pursue opportunities like:
Key opportunities:
Client service officer
Finance broking practice manager
Mortgage administration assistant
Lending officer
Loan underwriter
