Our program has been rigorously reviewed, approved, and authorized for continuing education credit by the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS). Our 8-hour continuing education course meets the NMLS course guidelines for continuing education credit. Pennsylvania-specific topics include a review of several Pennsylvania mortgage laws such as the Mortgage Licensing Act, the Consumer Equity Protection Act, and the Housing Finance Agency Law.

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

Our mortgage continuing education courses are available in several convenient packages for those who need all or only some of the required Pennsylvania courses. We have a 7-hour Originator Fundamentals course and a state-required 1-hour State Laws That Affect the Mortgage Loan Business course, or have them packaged together in an 8-hour Pennsylvania MLO Continuing Education course.

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 continuing education credit hours must be in the following categories:

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

In Pennsylvania, MLOs are required to take 8 hours of continuing education credits including 1 hour of Pennsylvania-specific course content. If you are licensed in other states, please check with each state to learn if you need to take additional credit hours. See this handy PDF for details.

Our 8-hour Pennsylvania MLO Continuing Education package covers all of the courses required for continuing education in Pennsylvania.

We also offer the 1-hour State Laws that Affect the Mortgage Loan Business as a stand-alone course for those who only need to fulfill the 1-hour Pennsylvania requirement.
