ARE YOU NAMB CERTIFIED?

The National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB) has developed a rigorous certification program to recognize mortgage professionals who have attained the highest levels of professional expertise. Developed through extensive research by mortgage industry experts, a NAMB designation is gained only once the candidate has met certain requirements of experience and knowledge of mortgage brokering and has passed a written examination. NAMB CEU's can be used to help gain these certifications. The three certification programs administered by NAMB are: The General Mortgage Associate (GMA), The Certified Mortgage Consultant (CMC) and the Certified Residential Mortgage Specialist (CRMS) programs.
