The National Association of Mortgage Brokers has rolled out a trio of six-hour online professional training programs designed to help its members earn their Lending Integrity Seal of Approval. NAMB requires all members to meet the requirements to earn the seal by 2009. TrainingPro, Hunt Valley, Md., developed the courses. "These new classes reinforce NAMB's ongoing commitment to the highest level of professional ethics," said NAMB president George Hanzimanolis. "By making the classes available online, TrainingPro has made the high standards of the Lending Integrity Seal attainable for all brokers and originators." All three courses have a two-hours ethics component. Course 1 also discusses fair lending and consumer privacy, Course 2 covers FHA lending and Course 3 talks about recent industry developments and mortgage fraud. "Now, more than ever, it is essential that mortgage brokers, originators and other financial professionals have the continuing education they need to serve their customers," said Chris Nickerson, chief executive of TrainingPro.
