To maintain an active license, a mortgage loan originator (MLO) must take which of the following minimum numbers of continuing education hours?

Rationale

3 hours of federal law, 2 hours of ethics, 2 hours of nontraditional mortgage lending and 1 additional hour of undefined education.

To maintain an active license, a mortgage loan originator (MLO) is required to complete a specific number of continuing education hours, which includes 3 hours of federal law, 2 hours of ethics, 2 hours of nontraditional mortgage lending, and 1 additional hour of undefined education.

A (3 hours of federal law, 3 hours of ethics and 2 hours of nontraditional mortgage lending) YOUR ANSWER

This option exceeds the required hours for ethics, which should be 2 hours, not 3. While it correctly includes the required federal law and nontraditional mortgage lending hours, the extra hour for ethics makes it an incorrect choice.

B (3 hours of federal law, 2 hours of ethics, 2 hours of nontraditional mortgage lending and 1 additional hour of undefined education) CORRECT

This choice accurately reflects the minimum continuing education requirements for MLOs, totaling 8 hours, with the correct distribution of hours across federal law, ethics, and nontraditional mortgage lending, along with the additional hour of undefined education.

C (2 hours of federal law, 2 hours of ethics, 3 hours of nontraditional mortgage lending and 1 additional hour of undefined education) YOUR ANSWER

This option incorrectly states the required hours for federal law, which should be 3 hours instead of 2. Additionally, it misallocates the hours for nontraditional mortgage lending, leading to an overall failure to meet the minimum requirements.

D (2 hours of federal law, 2 hours of ethics, 2 hours of nontraditional mortgage lending and 2 additional hours of undefined education) YOUR ANSWER

This choice does not meet the minimum requirements for federal law, which should be 3 hours. It also incorrectly increases the additional hours of undefined education, making it an incorrect option.

Conclusion

The minimum continuing education requirements for mortgage loan originators are specific and must be adhered to for license maintenance. Option B correctly outlines these requirements, ensuring MLOs have the necessary knowledge to operate effectively and ethically in the mortgage industry. The other options fail to meet these standards due to incorrect hour allocations or exceeding the requirements, underscoring the importance of accurate education in the field.
