FNS40804 Certificate IV in Financial Services (Finance/Mortgage Broking)

On 1 July 2010 the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) commenced regulation of consumer credit and finance broking under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009. New students If you are going to practise as a Mortgage/Finance Brokers in WA, the licensing requirements for Western Australia no longer apply.  The consumer credit reform is a national regime; this means that all students will be required to study the Mortgage Broking subject. Current students If you are enrolled in the Finance Broking subject (which contains the WA licensing requirements module) you will be contacted shortly in relation to how you are affected by this change. The Certificate IV in Financial Services (Finance/Mortgage Broking) qualification is ideal for those seeking to become recognised and qualified finance/mortgage brokers. Written by industry specialists, the qualification gives you an excellent understanding of critical aspects of the finance and mortgage broking industry, enabling you to offer sound advice to clients.
