So you want a better mortgage…

Always dreamed of becoming a Mortgage Advisor, but never knew how to take the plunge? No? Ok, stay with us on this one.

Although admittedly not necessarily a childhood ambition for many, being a Mortgage Advisor is actually an incredibly rewarding career move. It’s your job to help clients get the best mortgages available, and help them make the move of their dreams. You also get paid pretty well, which helps.

The CeMAP Mortgage Advisor training bundle brings together three essential papers which, once passed, will certify that you’re a fully qualified Mortgage Advisor in your own right. So whether you want to start applying for jobs right away, or build up your own business, you’ll have the key qualifications needed to back you up.

The best part? There’s almost 50% off this qualification for the entire month.

What do I need? There are no formal requirements to get started with this course.

How long will it last? Somewhere in the region of 45 hours of part-time study, taken at your own pace.

Perfect for: People who want a career that’s safe as houses.

So you want to learn a language…

Learning a new language is like learning to ride a bike. All it takes is a good teacher.*

Luckily, we know where you can find a few. In fact, in May we’ve added a brand new page to our site, specifically designed to cater for our language offerings.

Options range from intermediate and refresher courses, through to those aimed at absolute beginners. So whether you’re on the cusp of full-on fluency, want to finally get that pass in GCSE French (take that, Mademoiselle LaChapelle-Fontaine), or you don’t know your cerveza from your cabeza, there are options available for everyone.

Whichever course you go for, you’ll be opening yourself up to more job opportunities, and dramatically increase your earning power. And when you put it like that, they’re worth every peso.

So what are you waiting for? Say nĭ hăo to the new you, today.

What do I need? Enthusiasm and the desire to learn something new. Also, possibly a dictionary.

How long will it last? Completion times will vary from course to course, but the majority can be taken at your own pace, and at times that suit you.

Perfect for: People who want to turn Japanese.
