Testimonial – Mortgage Broker Workshop

Justine is a real asset to your company, her attention to detail in the training was next to none. Having attended a lot of different instructor led courses in IT, the instructors could certainly learn a LOT from Justine’s style.

Testimonial – Zoom workshops great

I loved these courses and found them super engaging – it’s tough content to teach over zoom but I cannot stress how great Liz is at presenting this information. I’ve really enjoyed my zoom sessions with her and really like her ability to convey quite complex information in a way that is really easy to understand. I’ve never liked Maths or formulas but found myself actually having fun working out the assessments. Thanks again

I would like to heartily give thanks to “The National Finance Institute” team for the outstanding “face to face workshop” and all the help and support during and after the workshop.

Really good

For a quick short course, everything was really good

Marketing Handbook

A great resource that puts the essentials of mortgage broking marketing into one, easy-to-read handbook. While it isn’t rocket science, the handbook provides the fuel to propel an average business to improved heights.

Marketing handbook for brokers

Your handbook is totally focused and relevant to the marketing efforts of mortgage brokers. We have already started to implement just a few of the many ideas and programmes and have no doubt that positive results will follow. An excellent product that I strongly recommend to all brokers.

Handbook trial

We are a husband and wife team, totally new to mortgage broking. We have resigned from our IT jobs and have gone into mortgage broking full time to give it our best shot. After some research, we decided to make your Handbook our bible. We are going to implement it to the letter and spirit and with full energy and faith.

Marketing Handbook

Insightful in expectations and how to keep clients happy – great motivating ideas.

Testimonial – Thanks from ABC Mortgages

I just want to thank you for the efficient handling by NFI of our Cert IV upgrade. As you know we are powering along very well at the moment with around 25 brokers in my team nationally. When I sat in your classroom just on 4 years ago, I had no idea that my business would have grown to where it is now. Thanks for the great training you provided back then. It was an excellent platform to launch my career from.

Testimonial – Professional workshop for new brokers

Very educational through (trainer’s) own experiences. Made it easier to relate to scenarios that we may be presented with in real life. Extremely professional.

Testimonial – Fantastic facilitation

Thank you for the fantastic facilitation of the Cert IV in Financial Services. I really enjoyed the day (RPL workshop) and was very impressed with your style of teaching.

I have really enjoyed the course and found the NFI program to be very comprehensive with practical ‘hands on’ advice that will serve me well as I begin my career in the mortgage industry. This is only the start of my training and I know I have a lot to learn! At least I know I am off to a good start.

Testimonial – engaging trainer

Liz is an outstanding and engaging trainer with a deep knowledge of the content and industry. One of the best educators I have experienced.

Testimonial – would highly recommend

Very clear trainer with informative instructions in relation to this course; Would highly recommend.

I attended just the one day “top up” for the Diploma course. The content for the day was exactly what I wanted so that I can complete my Diploma studies.

Fantastic course! Liz encouraged us to speak up when not sure about something, very friendly, relaxed and professional!

Trainer was brilliant!. Professional, engaging 100% of the time. Spoke clearly and made me feel extremely at ease in the class.

The course covered the info well. Love it and recommend to others.

Excellent presentation skills; course material was explained very well.

Fantastic course, so glad I changed from Kaplan.

Liz was brilliant, clear and concise. Made the training enjoyable but also I personally learnt a heap.

The best aspect of the training was the ability to ask questions and hear others ask also, and to get answers on the spot while it was relevant

Testimonial – thank you

Just a quick note to say a big THANK YOU for your assistance, support and understanding throughout my enrolment with the Cert IV mortgage broking course.

When it comes to studying new things, my preference is to learn in a workshop setting (which you do offer). But my mentor chose to pay for and enrol me in the online course, so I didn’t have much say in the matter. As I have no previous industry experience, I found the course challenging, but not too over-whelming. The material was presented in an easy-to-follow format, and it has helped me learn the basics of becoming a mortgage broker. I am especially impressed by how you were able to put yourself in my shoes and understand me. I can’t wait to start on the Diploma, knowing that I can call on you for assistance if I get stuck.

I would like to commend your organization on the layout and interface used in the online course Certificate 4 Accounting as well as the swift service. The interface is very streamlined, logical and user friendly.

Liz was good. Lots of industry experience clearly helps.

It was very useful for me and I am so happy to have Liz’s class.

Fantastic, couldn’t imagine doing this by correspondence. Face to face course was amazing.

It has been a pleasure studying through you. Alison was great. Very quick to respond to my questions and very helpful when I didn’t understand things.
Thank you so much for making my studying easy and such a pleasurable experience.

Testimonial – great presentation style

Liz is incredibly knowledgeable and has a great presentation style. For dry content she certainly makes it a fun environment.

Liz was an excellent trainer, gave me confidence to start my new venture. Can’t wait.

Testimonial – Diploma

I had a minor heart attack when looking over the course content at home. But at the workshop Liz presented the information in a clear and concise way, which finally helped me to understand the finer details of the assignments.

I just wanted to thank you Peter very much for the fantastic Cert IV course you provided over the past 3 days in Melbourne. I have to say that it was one of the most interesting and well presented courses I have been on (and I have been on many – especially IT ones!). Your obvious passion, expertise and real-life examples were much appreciated!

Testimonial – Certificate IV

Personally, I think it’s good to attend the workshop instead of doing it online as you can learn a lot from other members’ questions and experiences.

Liz is superb, she is perfect for the role, very approachable, genuine, caring and articulate. I wish there was more publicity about the Diploma workshop being suitable for commercial lending. If I knew I would have stayed for the Diploma.

Testimonial – loved every minute

Excellent trainer, loved every minute of the course!!! Fine food, amazing venue.

Fantastic choice to choose this course. Much appreciated and thanks! Keep in touch!

I love this course and it proves to be beyond my expectation. Thank you very much Peter. How to touch and retain our clients was the most valuable topic to me.

Testimonial – topics valuable

As someone new to mortgage broking, I found the topics very valuable to me. And in last topic Peter gave us advice on how to build up and maintain our client base. I think this is very valuable to me. I’m so glad to spend these 3 days with Peter. I have learnt a lot, not only the techniques but also he gives us a lot of advice on how to be a good broker. A great experience.

“Peter, thank you for your time the past few days, it was awesome to engage with your experiences and knowledge, and I truly learnt so much that I know with certainty will help me grow.

Fantastic real life scenarios and actual practical experience. One of the best trainers in my long professional career as a chartered accountant. Thank you Liz!

The course was fantastic. Liz was excellent, made the topics very interesting, so it was easy to understand.

Thank you so much for your prompt response. You are an excellent marker. The National Finance Institute is lucky to have someone as efficient as you.

Even though I work in the industry already, I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I was engaged and learned. Thank you..

Thanks

Peter, thanks once again for your efficient service and prompt attention. I will be sure to recommend more people to you in the future.

All topics helped me and gave me knowledge to start my career.

Liz was absolutely delightful, not to mention insightful, easy to listen to and engaging. I found this course extremely helpful in understanding the role of a mortgage broker. Was very impressed, thank you.
