- A section of training
- An activity in which students will read a short scenario and then answer questions about the scenario

The first module of the course is about sweeping laws and rules that apply to mortgage loans and mortgage loan originators across the country. A review of the SAFE Act, NMLS registration, an overview of state licensing standards, Regulation Z, and Integrated Mortgage Disclosures will make the bulk of the module.
The second module deals with ethical considerations and consumer protection. Identity theft prevention and safeguarding client data start us off. Then, topics related to the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act take center stage. Several case studies will be presented, as will other recommendations on compliance with such laws as Regulation N. Fair lending practices and balancing one’s business aspirations with the health of the market are emphasized.
The third module examines non-traditional mortgage loan products like adjustable rate mortgages and reverse mortgages. Federal Housing Administration updates are first, then the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage program is featured, along with its changes. Various other types of loans and financing options are considered, including government programs, high-cost loans and their requirements, and portfolio loans.
A final exam will ask 25 questions randomly drawn from the general education portion of the package.
The state-specific course begins with an explanation of the regulating authorities in West Virginia, and what each agency's jurisdiction is. Authorities discussed include the Division of Financial Institutions (DFI), the DFI's Mortgage Division, the Department of Revenue, and the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS). We then examine the WV SAFE Mortgage Licensing Act, and look at the 2020 amendments to the Act.
After this, students will review relevant sections of the West Virginia Residential Mortgage Lender, Broker, and Servicer Act, the Good Funds Settlement Act, the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act, and the Administrative Code of State Rules: Title 106, Series 5. The course ends with recent industry-related news stories and an update on West Virginia's Electronic Surety Bond adoption status.
An additional 15 question final exam about the state modules will finish off this package.
