If you are or are planning to be a mortgage industry professional, you need to take action to ensure your licensure.
Pre-licensure Education
The Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (SAFE Act) requires that state-licensed mortgage loan originators (MLOs) complete 20 hours of pre-licensure education. Many states require additional state law education, as well. View the current state-specific requirement chart (PDF).
All MLO’s must also pass the SAFE Mortgage Loan Originator Test. A score of 75% or higher is needed to meet this requirement. If you do not pass, you must wait 30 days before retaking the exam. After three failed attempts, a 180 day wait period is required. This is a difficult exam that you do not want to take lightly. The pass rate for first timers is only about 60% and only 44% in subsequent attempts.
We provide everything you need to fully prepare for and pass this Loan Originator Test. Our courses and products have a long and proven track record of success! The test prep package includes all of the following:
- 12-hour video covering the business A-Z with everything you need to know to pass the test and succeed in the industry.
- All the slides (over 750) from your 20 hr webinar course.
- Two 100 question practice exams along with case studies.
- PDF’s dedicated to mortgage terminology and math equations.
The final steps for licensure involve submitting fingerprints for a a criminal background check, and authorizing a credit report check. View details of the entire process.
Continuing Education
The SAFE Act requires that state-licensed MLOs complete 8 hours of education annually to maintain your license. Many states require additional hours of state law to be part of or in addition to this requirement. View the current state-specific requirement chart (PDF).
The SAFE Act has a successive year rule that mandates that an MLO may not take the same course two years in a row. All our CE courses are brand new each year so this rule is not a concern. Regardless of your state or requirement, we have it available for you. View our CE training options.
