Hey Mr. Powell! I attended your class last week and I took my exam today and passed with an 86%!
Thanks for all your help
Our NMLS pre-licensing training is totally dedicated to assisting you to do only one thing, and that’s for you to pass the national exam the first time. The quick and easy NMLS Pre-License Education training offered at Capstone is beneficial for many reasons!
Learning in a classroom environment is vastly superior to learning online. Very few companies offer live classroom training because of the expense of maintaining the training facilities and they need to go after a larger group of people. The problem with online training is that it’s not as effective as a classroom. This a documented scholastic fact.
Scotsman’s Guide is the mortgage industry’s bible of authority, and they reported years ago that the best way to prepare for the National Test & Unified State Test is not with online training but by sitting in a real classroom with your instructor and NMLS Education materials in front of you.
See The NMLS Test Topics You’re Required To Know Prior To Testing
The NMLS national test of 100 questions is combined with the UST ( Unified State Test) of 25 questions.
The required passing score for both parts is 75%. The testing is administered by Prometrics with testing locations throughout the US.

We normally only offer NMLS approved pre-licensing training once a month in Atlanta and
our future training dates are listed below. We only allow students to register for the current
training date. You’ll have access to the next class after our current class has concluded.
We recognize that NMLS 20 hour online training is very convenient but the advantages of that should be weighed
out carefully before making a decision.
Asking questions?
Is it easier to ask your questions by raising your hand and have your instructor answer your questions
on the spot?
Or
Is it easier to formulate your question in your head; then type it into a chat box and then
wait for the instructor to answer you?
Some companies like to brag about their student’s passing ratios. Some even boast they have a
90% or higher passing ratio. Yes; they may have a 90% passing average on the required school test.
But no one has a 90% or better first time student passing average on the NMLS National Test!
Run from any school that says they have a 90% or better passing average on the NMLS National test.
The last time we saw any statistics from the NMLS was a statement that the national average passing rate was
only about 68%.
From our students reporting back to us and those students taking our refresher classes; we estimate our
first time passing ratio varies between 81% and 85% .
For our students who don’t pass their national test the first time, we offer a free refresher course within 120 days
after completing their initial class. There is a $175.00 fee if you wish to repeat the class after 120 days.
