CF6 Exam: Mortgage Advice

To obtain the Certificate in Mortgage Advice and meet the regulatory standards set for mortgage advisers, candidates must pass two of three exams. The first unit can be either the R01 exam or the CF1 exam for the module on the UK financial services industry, products, process of advice and regulations and ethics. The second exam, Mortgage Advice, is concluded by the CF6 Exam. The combination of both exams introduces candidates to the UK financial services industry and the mortgage process. When combined with on-the-job training, this Certificate ensures that mortgage advisers maintain the level of service required by the FCA.

The CF6 unit, Mortgage Advice, is designed to provide candidates with an understanding of different types of mortgage products and repayment choices. Specifically, the exam covers the house-purchasing process; an examination of different types of borrowers and what they are likely to need from a mortgage product; and the regulations and legislation that apply to mortgages. Candidates should be able to provide sound, accurate mortgage advice after passing the CF6 exam.

There are no prerequisites for this exam, so anybody can take it regardless of their experience or education. It is recommended, however, that the CF1 or R01 Exam is taken before CF6.

The CF6 exam consists of 100 multiple-choice questions and 5 additional scenario-based questions. Each of these scenarios is comprised of five multiple-choice questions. The exam lasts for 3 hours, has a nominal pass mark of 70% and is worth 20 credits.
