CeMAP Certification remains bouyant
In the recent times the credit crunch has drained consumer confidence, so buyers have been drawn to seek advisers in the mortgage market. This means that the mortgage market is still optimistic for those wishing to qualify as mortgage advisors by getting CeMAP training. The ifs School of Finance, which offers the exams for the Certificate in Mortgage Advice and Practice (CeMAP), has said that the number of people getting listed to become certified intermediaries "remains strong".
Mark Roberts, head of financial regulation at the ifs School of Finance, said: "Our figures for 2008 remain bouyant and, if registrations carry on at the present rate, the year should prove to be another successful one for the industry - with a healthy influx of newly qualified individuals able to give competent and well-informed advice to consumers."

First-time buyers and existing homeowners looking to move but struggling to secure a mortgage need the "help and advice of a qualified adviser more than ever".
