The CAAMP AMP Designation Undergoes a Facelift


You may or may not have already heard that CAAMP’s AMP designation program underwent a facelift and effective July 2014 is now only available to mortgage brokers. CAAMP has released a PDF on the topic which specifies that this will now be a broker-only designation with new designations coming soon for lenders and insurers. Also, brokers seeking the AMP designation will be required to complete a National Competency Exam. Also, it is as yet unclear what CAAMP’s plans are as far as mortgage agent designations.                          

Here are some of the criteria that will have to be met to qualify:
 
·        Applicants must be a CAAMP member in good standing
·        Applicants must be licensed/registered as a mortgage broker
·        Two reference letters will be required – one from a lender and one from an employer and at least one of the entities providing a reference letter must be a designated AMP
·        Applicants must have completed the National Competency Exam
·        Applicants must have paid: 1) the annual AMP fee of $175.00 and 2) the exam fee of $195.00

More information is scheduled to be released in fall 2014 which we will release as it becomes available. For complete and accurate information on the changes refer to the provided link to read CAAMP’s complete PDF on the topic: http://caamp.org/meloncms/media/AMP%20New%20Requirements_2.pdf.
