NMLS Continuing Education Course Requirements
The NMLS states that all MLOs must comply with the SAFE Act (The Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act), which requires MLOs with a state license to complete continuing education each year. To start your continuing education training, you will need your NMLS number.
To meet your mortgage CE requirements and maintain your mortgage license status, you are required to complete a minimum 8 hours of NMLS-approved education covering these topics:
- 3 hours of federal law and regulations
- 2 hours of ethics, including instruction on fraud, consumer protection, and fair lending
- 2 hours of non-traditional mortgage lending
- 1 hour of undefined "electives" on mortgage origination
