GST), self-paced, 12 modules, kept current as the industry changes. - Founder/instructor: Sharyn Burgess, "Founder, “the Mortgage Maven”" (2023 Bankwest Customer Service Award, QLD Finalist). - Founder background: 20 years in Australian lending; loan processing since 2015 and mortgage broking since 2016; Diploma of Mortgage Finance.

This is the fastest, no-licence way into the mortgage industry. (Confirm current requirements with the MFAA, FBAA and ASIC.)
