CAMB is Your Education Frontier!

  Professional development adds value to your business through enhanced credibility with your clients. CAMB has established an education and research foundation--it is our commitment to provide quality education and enhanced professional development programs to individuals in the mortgage industry and the public in general. The CAMB Education & Research Foundation is a separately incorporated, nonprofit organization that will be able to receive charitable contributions from individuals and corporations.

  One of the Foundation’s goals is to provide free continuing education programs to CAMB members as a member benefit. 
  
• What is your next step?
  Increase your professional integrity with your clients by seeking industry certification. CAMB promotes NAMB’s certification designations--the Certified Residential Mortgage Specialist (CRMS) and the Certified Mortgage Consultant (CMC). For certification information and criteria, download the certification handbook from NAMB’s Web site--www.namb.org, click on Certification Home, then Certification Handbook to find the download link.
  
• What are the benefits of being certified?
