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.

Real world experience
Leah and Ian were phenominal instructors and trainers. Providing real world practical experience that I haven't seen in other Diploma courses I've enroled in!
I choose to do the two days additional for the Diploma and was successful in completing it! There was real time assessment and thank you Ian for your feedback for improvement! There is immense value in the two additional days I highly recommend this as a consideration!
I honestly wouldn't have completed my Diploma in any level of time frame if I was with the other providers!
Can't thank Leah and Ian enough! again highly recommended
