Mortgage Advisor Review

I am a branch based Mortgage advisor in my day to dale role, this is helping customers who are looking to purchase their first property all the way to a seasoned landlord who is looking for another investment opportunity. I also help protect the customers and their debt by provide life, critical illness and House Insurance. I need to deal with both internal and external stakeholders, ranging from underwriters to solicitors involved in the process.

I studied for my CeMAP qualification for the role to ensure that i am able to to give correct advice to clients with potentially there biggest debt they will ever take on. I have been required to hone my skills around make people aware of the implications of protecting there proety against illness or death and what that could mean for that family going forward, this is to ensure that the right outcome is acheived for that customer if they were to become ill or pass away

The apprenticeship has been valuable in terms of networking within the business and within departments which i would not normally have any exposure to and allow me to network.

The company has been in a position to ensure that i receive my allotted study days so that i am in a position to carry out my assignments and report writing. This shpows to me that they wish for me to exceed in the degree programme and that we are both working to wards the same goal and in developing my career.

The prgramme has a clear structure to it and this is down to the provider in Anglia Ruskin as they have been great in providing updates before study blocks so we know where we are going and what to expect from each other.

The training provider has been very supportive by giving personal 121 time and also access to resources eg their library. From the outset we spent a day going through all of the resources available to students in terms of tutor support. This provided a great insight as our cohort most likely have not been in education for at least 10 years so this was able to put our minds at ease.

As above we have been able to provide me with 1 study day every 2 weeks and this allows me to complete my assignments and reports. My Line manager is always asking for ideas that i have learnt and what we can pick up and bring into my day to day job.

My salary more than covers any cost that i have with the programme, as my employer is currently meeting travel costs to study blocks so this is not having n impact on disposable income.

we have the opportunity to take part in lifeskills events and moneyskills events which can be provides to schools and community groups to help them devlop their skill around youths who maybe are less fortunate then ourselves. As part fo the programme we have been given the opportunity to raise funds for the Rainbows childrens hospice in Loughbrough and this has meant ongoing outside of comfort zones and rinsing funds for the charrity where needed.

Yes

they are a great employer which provide lots of benfits to their staff however they are also encoraging people to learn and also better themselves and look to progress into that next role. There are mentoring programmes available to be a mentor o be mentored. and this allows you to develop skills

The application process is a competency based interview and the key to it is focusing on what "YOU" or "I" done in the scenario as much as we dont like to take credit it is important that the interviewer understand what you done in the process.
