MLOs Not to Take The Same NMLS Approved CE Courses in Successive Years

OnlineEd

(OnlineEd – Portland, OR) Mortgage Loan Originators (MLOs) cannot complete the same approved continuing education courses in the same or successive years to meet their annual requirements for continuing education credit. “Successive years” as interpreted by the NMLS means two years in a row. The SAFE Act of 2008 requires MLOs to complete 8 hours of NMLS approved CE annually.

The NMLS system for validating CE credits is programmed not to count the same course number twice. To avoid making this mistake, MLOs should make sure their preferred provider is offering courses with different titles than the year prior.

NMLS information about the “Successive Year” rule can be found in the NMLS Resource Center at http://mortgage.nationwidelicensingsystem.org/courseprovider/Documents/Successive%20Years%20Rule.pdf
