You don't need books, CDs, or special software. If you can read this, you have everything you need to get started!

Our mortgage education courses are delivered online and course materials are available in printer friendly formats. Your learning materials and exams are all delivered through your web browser. You will be able to access your account from any computer with an internet connection. The OnlineEd system is compatible with all major browsers and operating systems.

Our program has been rigorously reviewed, approved, and authorized for continuing education credit by the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS). Our mortgage continuing education courses meet the NMLS and state-regulatory entity guidelines for continuing education credit. We will also report your course completion confirmation directly to the NMLS.

Our mortgage education courses at OnlineEd are written by OnlineEd. Because of this, we save on overhead licensing costs and can pass those savings on to you.

If you do not have an NMLS ID number and need to obtain one, create one using the instructions available at the NMLS Resource Center.

If you already have an NMLS ID but don't remember what it is:

1. Login into NMLS website
2. Click on the Composite View tab.
3. Click View Individual on the sub-header row.
4. The number that appears in parentheses after your name is your NMLS ID number.

The SAFE Act requires licensed Mortgage Loan Originators to take a minimum of 8 hours of continuing education every year. The NMLS mortgage continuing education license renewal credit hours must be in the following categories:

• 3 hours of Federal Laws and Regulations
• 2 hours of Ethics topics covering fraud, fair lending, and consumer protection issues
• 2 hours of non-traditional mortgage training
• 1 hour of electives

Please check with each state to learn if you need to take additional credit hours. See this handy PDF for details.

Our 8-hour Originator Essentials package covers all of the courses required for continuing education in most states.
