All training courses are not the same! Our training courses provide a balance between theory and real-life
practical skills to deliver results that can be immediately applied in the ‘real world’.
We believe this is an important key to success in the mortgage industry.
The National Finance Institute is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
Peter Heinrich started the business with the objective of forming the industry’s leading training organisation. Both directors have extensive experience in the finance industry.
For over 20 years Peter Heinrich has been heavily involved in the banking and mortgage broking industries. The last 7 years in banking were as State Manager (WA) for St George Bank, with a major focus on growing the mortgage broking unit.
Peter was involved in the ‘Building the Future’ program, which shaped the Mortgage
& Finance Association of Australia (MFAA) into a relevant industry association and he also pioneered mobile lending, as one of Australia’s first mobile lenders back in 1984.
After leaving banking, Peter became the State Sales Manager for Mortgage Force, a national mortgage origination company. His positions have always involved training of lending and customer service staff. Prior to forming The National Finance Institute, Peter was Managing Director for a rival training organisation, which he founded in 2001. He is a Fellow of
FINSIA, a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Mortgage Brokers and a Fellow of the Institute of Financial Services. Peter also holds a Certificate IV in Assessment and Workplace Training.
Peter is a widely sought-after public speaker, with a vast array of proven examples, real-life case studies and industry-specific strategies to fire at the audience. Peter was a guest presenter at the Australian Mortgage Summit 04 and has spoken at numerous national conferences and professional development workshops. He is also the co-author of the best-selling Australian Mortgage Marketing Handbook.
