DMF Broker Academy
Your mandatory 2-year mentorship, run properly. Structured learning, compliance handled, and DeMarque Finance's proprietary lender technology behind your login from day one.
Commercial Broker Academy — 12 months. Business-purpose lending: equipment, working capital, commercial property. Deal-led, not theory-led — weekly Deal Lab sessions on real scenarios, structured file reviews and live pipeline shadowing progressing to solo files under sign-off. You train on DMF's commercial and business-purpose lender universe — banks, mutuals, specialist and private lenders across every commercial asset class. Consumer-regulated (NCCP) lenders sit outside this program by design: you'll never quote a lender you're not authorised to write. No diploma gate. Apply →
Residential Mentorship — 24 months. Your mandatory 2-year mentorship, run properly. Aligned to Finsure and MFAA requirements — weekly reporting, file reviews, CPD tracking and your evidence pack handled by the portal. Your lender tools are scoped to your Finsure accreditation — the panel lenders you're actually authorised to place with — so everything you learn, quote and lodge stays inside your credit representative authority from day one.

Each program's technology is scoped to the lending you're authorised to do — deliberately.
Commercial Academy members work the business-purpose lender universe: major and challenger banks, mutuals, asset and equipment financiers, private credit and specialist funds. Every deal in the program carries a loan-purpose declaration, and consumer-purpose scenarios are excluded at the tool level — because business-purpose lending sits outside the NCCP, and keeping your toolkit cleanly on that side of the line is what lets you write deals from month one without a credit licence gate.
Residential Mentorship members see the lender set that matches their Finsure accreditation. That's not a limitation — it's how a compliant mentorship should work: you build your first two years of track record on lenders you can lawfully recommend, with every file review, quote and lodgement defensible under your credit representative authority.
As your accreditations grow, your lender access grows with them.
