Walbrook Institute London Launches Mortgage Adviser Apprenticeship Route

Walbrook Institute London has introduced a new level 3 apprenticeship pathway for those seeking to become mortgage advisers. The 15-month programme is designed to provide firms and aspiring advisers with a funded solution to attract, train, and retain talent in the mortgage advice sector.

The apprenticeship allows participants to study for the London Institute of Banking and Finance’s (LIBF) CeMAP qualification alongside other learners. The programme is delivered online through the LIBF’s learning platform and offers the opportunity to achieve a recognised level 3, 4, or 6 qualification.

Firms can use the apprenticeship both to bring in new talent and to upskill existing employees into senior or specialist roles. The programme enables both small and large firms to access government funding and employee toolkits to support apprentices.

As the LIBF is a membership body and listed on the Apprenticeship Provider and Assessment Register (APAR), apprentices will have immediate access to complimentary continuing professional development (CPD) activities and materials.

The initiative is intended to help firms recruit, train, and support new talent using the national apprenticeship levy. The programme is also aligned with employer needs and the national skills agenda.
