“The NAMB provides mortgage brokers with professional education opportunities and offers rigorous certification programs to recognize members with the highest levels of professional knowledge and education,” says Investopedia.

A member of the International Mortgage Brokers Federation (IMBF), the association also represents the country in conventions and collaborations with mortgage professionals from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

You may qualify in one of NAMB’s three certification credential programs depending on your years of experience in the industry. These are the following:

  1. General Mortgage Associate (GMA) 
  2. Certified Residential Mortgage Specialist (CRMS)
  3. Certified Mortgage Consultant (CMC)

You don’t need to be a member of the NAMB to be certified, but you may consider joining to get discounts on application fees and have access to more learning resources from the organization.

After you pass the test that corresponds to your chosen credential, you will receive your certification and get access to NAMB’s educational and self-marketing materials.
