Marvin OnumonuEcho Finance has teamed up with Mortgage Train Academy to help new mortgage advisers get started in the industry.
The partnership offers a two-week course to bridge the gap from CeMAP qualification to working as an adviser, focusing on things like client engagement, lender criteria, case packaging, sales process, compliance and business generation.
The first course begins on 20th April in Gloucester.
Successful participants will be offered a remote role at Echo Finance, serving clients across the UK with centralised compliance, operational support and lead generation.
The collaboration aims to tackle the problem of new brokers struggling to turn academic knowledge into practical skills.
By combining training with access to Echo Finance’s established framework, the companies want to shorten the time between qualification and getting productive.
Lee Trett (pictured), co-founder and director at Echo Finance, said: “We are proud to partner with Mortgage Train Academy to create a clearer pathway into the profession.
“There is strong demand for high-quality advice across the UK, and supporting newly qualified brokers with the right infrastructure and oversight is essential.
“This partnership supports our growth plans as we continue building a national advisory presence.”
Ricky Naylor, founder of Mortgage Train, said: “We’re proud to partner with Echo Finance, one of the UK’s most respected and trusted mortgage brokerages.
“What makes Echo Finance stand out, especially for new self-employed mortgage advisers, is their combination of industry experience, supportive culture and real opportunity for growth.
“They’ve been operating since 2012 and have built a strong reputation for integrity, professionalism and client satisfaction.”
