Scotsman’s Guide is reporting 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 in front of you. Online training works well for some people , but for many others not so well.

If English is your secondary language or you dislike being rushed through with online training, please consider attending our classroom training in Atlanta GA.

Not every person passes their test the first time.
GOOD News! Capstone is the only school that allows you to retake the class again free if there are seats available.

We limit our class size to 25 students so register early.

Contact your Veterans administrator for instructions on how to apply for tuition reimbursement.

If you’re just starting your career in the mortgage industry or returning, you really need to understand there’s a reason why only about 63% of people taking the national and UST test pass. The NMLS national test is extremely tough and previous mortgage experience really doesn’t give you much of an edge.

Many of our students have never been in any type of banking job before and their passing rate with our instruction and materials are equal to experienced loan originators who are re-entering the mortgage business.

Online programs have learning challenges. The teacher-student interactive experience is a technology nightmare for online courses. Nothing works better than a live class, with your instructor in front of you, and who has time to take your questions and answer them on the spot.

In our 3 day training format we have the time to allow our students to ask lots of questions, and take lots of practice tests.

In order to meet pre-license education requirements, most state-licensed MLOs must complete at a minimum 20 hours of NMLS-approved education and must then pass the national NMLS test component.

The NMLS requires all educational providers to cover the following areas of mortgage education.

3 hours of federal law and regulations
3 hours of ethics, including fraud, consumer protection, and fair lending issues
2 hours of training related to lending standards on nontraditional mortgage products
12 hours of undefined instruction on mortgage origination.

Additionally your training will include getting you prepared for the Unified State Test.

The Unified State test is made up of 25 additional questions that are combined with your 100 question national test. We’ll cover all this in detail during your training.

When you arrive the first morning of training you’ll receive you printed manual, and all your case studies, homework and practice tests.

We don’t have a magic training book that covers all the questions that could be asked on your national test & UST and no other school does. We believe that our course materials and instructors are superior to any other training provider.
