Just Mortgages, one of the UK’s largest mortgage brokerages, is hosting its second broker academy of the year.

The academy will take their knowledge to the next level, honing a diverse array of skills essential for becoming successful mortgage brokers and thriving in the dynamic mortgage market. Beyond supporting the recruits through exams, Just Mortgages will also provide expert training on soft skills and lead generation that are crucial to being a broker.

We are committed to providing aspiring advisers with the ideal launching pad into a successful career in financial advice.
“Our comprehensive training programme provides them with the essential skills, training, and support required to succeed in this ever-evolving field. We tailor the course to meet the individual needs, expertise, and existing experience of our trainees, ensuring they receive personalised support every step of the way.”
These skills include developing an understanding of the sales process, building strong client relationships and a clear line of questioning to discern and address client needs effectively. The course also focuses on the vital aspects of protection, including critical illness coverage, income protection, and life insurance, underscoring the paramount importance of ensuring clients' welfare and security.
Just Mortgages’ national academy programme supports classes of up to 15, whittled down from over 500 applicants eager to enrol and commence their journey as advisers.
The academy is part of a series of four planned for 2024.
