Study Online

Flexible Learning.  Expert Support.  Study Anywhere in Australia.

Not everyone can attend classroom training, and that's exactly why FARSTA's online learning option has become a popular choice for many aspiring mortgage and finance brokers.

Our nationally recognised FNS40821 Certificate IV in Finance and Mortgage Broking and FNS50322 Diploma of Finance and Mortgage Broking Management Upgrade can both be completed entirely online, allowing you to study when and where it suits you.

Whether you're working full-time, changing careers, returning to the workforce or living in a regional area, our distance education program gives you the flexibility to achieve your qualification without compromising on the quality of your learning experience.

Why Choose Online Learning with FARSTA?

Study at Your Own Pace

There's no need to attend scheduled classes. Access your course materials 24 hours a day and complete your studies around your work, family and other commitments.

Learn From Industry Experts

Our trainers aren't just educators—they're experienced mortgage brokers who understand the industry. When you need guidance, you'll receive practical advice based on real-world experience.

You're Not Alone

One of the biggest misconceptions about online learning is that you're left to figure everything out yourself.

At FARSTA, you'll have access to unrivalled support:  available by phone, email and online meetings when required. Whether you have a question about an assessment or need help understanding a concept, we're here to offer timely support.

Nationally Recognised Qualifications

Complete the same nationally recognised qualification as our classroom students. Your qualification is identical regardless of whether you study online or attend face-to-face classes.

Industry-Relevant Learning

Our courses are designed around the practical skills you'll use as a mortgage broker. Rather than simply learning theory, you'll work through realistic client scenarios, lender submissions and compliance activities that prepare you for the real world.

Instead of waiting for delayed responses, classroom students receive explanation and guidance when they need it most.

What's Included?

When you enrol with FARSTA you'll receive:

• Complete online access to all learning and assessment materials
• Trainer support throughout your course
• Practical case studies based on real lending scenarios
• Assessment feedback to help you succeed
• Flexible study that fits around your lifestyle
• Access from anywhere in Australia
• Nationally recognised qualification upon successful completion

Who is Online Learning Suitable For?

Our distance learning option is ideal if you:

• Work full-time or part-time
• Have family or caring commitments
• Live outside major metropolitan areas
• Prefer learning at your own pace
• Want to study without travelling
• Are looking for a career change while remaining employed

Many of our students successfully complete their qualification while balancing work and family responsibilities.

How Long Does It Take?

Because you study at your own pace, completion times vary between students.

Some students complete their qualification in just a few months, while others choose to spread their studies over a longer period to fit around their existing commitments.

Our trainers will work with you to help keep your studies on track.
