Certificate IV in Finance and Mortgage Broking
The nationally recognised qualification for people working in mortgage broking and lending. Already doing the job? Get it through Recognition of Prior Learning: your experience is assessed against the units, with no study required.
A qualification for the lending work you already do
The Certificate IV in Finance and Mortgage Broking covers the core of broking: understanding a client’s situation, comparing loan products, preparing applications and meeting responsible lending obligations. If you’ve been working as a broker, supporting one or working in lending, Recognition of Prior Learning lets an assessor from our partner RTO check your experience against each unit, with no classes to attend. Your free consult comes first, so you know whether you’re eligible before you pay anything.

Common questions
How much experience do I need for RPL?
It depends on the work you’ve done and how closely it matches the units. Assessing clients’ finances, comparing loan products, preparing loan applications and supporting a broker all count. Your free eligibility check tells you where you stand before you pay anything.
How long does the RPL assessment take?
The whole process takes about 2–3 weeks, from your eligibility check to the assessor’s decision. Once your eligibility is confirmed you enrol and pay in person, and having your evidence ready early keeps it moving.
What counts as evidence?
Usually your resume, a reference letter from a supervisor or employer, proof of identity and your USI. Examples like fact finds, needs analyses and loan applications you’ve prepared help too, with clients’ details removed. Your advisor will tell you exactly what your assessor needs.
