Global Financial Training Program

What Global Financial Training Program does

Global Financial Training Program (legal entity: Global Broker Training Systems, Inc.) is a privately held, founder-operated commercial loan brokerage training company founded in 1988 by Phil Dushey and headquartered in Deal, New Jersey. The company sells a single $19,950 one-time enrollment SKU that trains individuals to become commercial loan brokers originating loans of $5,000 to $500+ million on behalf of more than 40 pre-vetted institutional lenders; lenders waive standard underwriting requirements for graduates in recognition of the firm's 36+ year track record.

The core product is a 4-day intensive Zoom-based training program covering commercial lending fundamentals, credit risk assessment, credit investigation, financial statement analysis, and a comprehensive marketing curriculum (internet, social, email, PPC, direct mail, SEO, vendor and industry-targeted marketing). Bundled deliverables include a professionally designed website, custom logo, 1,000 online leads, lender guideline manuals, applications, forms, a software package, customized stationery, business cards, social media setup, and lifetime 1:1 mentorship. Graduates retain 100% of lender-paid commissions (1%–15% per transaction) and earn a 'Certified Global Professional' designation. The firm explicitly positions itself against franchises by offering no royalties, no territory restrictions, and no ongoing fees.

Revenue is generated entirely through enrollment fees and is not publicly disclosed; there are no funding rounds, no acquisitions, and no subsidiaries. Go-to-market is sales-led via weekly live webinars hosted by the CEO, phone consultations, website inquiries, and a 'reverse interview' pre-qualification process. The customer base spans aspiring entrepreneurs, professionals seeking additional income, real estate professionals, military veterans, and—downstream—small and medium-sized businesses in need of alternative financing that traditional banks do not serve. Distribution is national within the US, with lenders covering all 50 states.

Direct peers

• Career WebSchool: Career WebSchool provides mortgage licensing education and training. It is a direct peer because it focuses on preparing individuals to originate loans professionally, overlapping with Global's commercial loan broker training mission though focused on residential rather than commercial lending.
• OnCourse Learning: OnCourse Learning offers professional education for mortgage, real estate, and financial services professionals. It is a direct peer because it delivers career-focused training that prepares individuals to enter or advance within lending and financial services roles, similar to Global's loan broker program.
• McKissock Learning: McKissock Learning provides continuing education and licensing courses for financial services and real estate professionals, including loan originators. It is a direct peer because it serves the same professional-development-for-finance-brokers market as Global Financial Training Program, just with a focus on residential mortgage licensing CE.

Broad incumbents

• Kaplan Financial Education: Kaplan Financial Education provides exam prep and licensing courses for securities, insurance, and financial professionals. It is a broad incumbent because it serves the broader financial-services licensing market and offers overlapping career-entry training, though at larger scale and broader scope than Global.
• Edcomm Group (Bankers Academy): Bankers Academy delivers compliance and skills training for banks and financial institutions. It is a broad incumbent because, while it operates in the same banking/financial services training space, its customer base is institutional banks rather than aspiring individual brokers.
• 360training: 360training offers professional development and regulatory-compliance training across many industries including financial services. It is a broad incumbent because it sells training as a broad catalog with some financial-services overlap, rather than specializing in commercial loan brokering.

Others

• CE Shop (Real Estate Express): The CE Shop provides real estate licensing and continuing education. It is an adjacent peer because, while it serves the adjacent real estate professional training market, it does not focus specifically on commercial loan brokering.
• National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers: NACFB is the UK trade association for commercial finance brokers. It is an adjacent ecosystem player that represents the same target profession Global Financial Training Program trains, serving as an industry body rather than a direct training competitor.
