Getting Licensed in New Brunswick

The New Brunswick Mortgage Associate Course and the New Brunswick Mortgage Broker Education Program are the only required courses for licensing by the Financial and Consumer Services Commission (FCNB).

Both courses are offered in an online format, take roughly 40-60 hours to complete and have a final in-person examination. These courses are also available in French.

Mortgage Associate Course

The New Brunswick Mortgage Associate Course is the first and only entry level provincial licensing course approved by FCNB for New Brunswick.

The course contains province specific information on regulations, legislation, and business practices. The program was developed through extensive industry consultation, with the assistance of education experts. Once you've passed the final exam, you will be eligible to join a mortgage brokerage. Your brokerage will be the one to submit your licensing application to provincial regulators.

Mortgage Broker Education Program

The New Brunswick Mortgage Broker Education Program is the required course to becoming a licensed mortgage broker in New Brunswick. This is the only approved course for licensing as a mortgage broker by the Financial and Consumer Services Commission (FCNB). The Mortgage Broker Education Program is designed in line with the FCNB requirements. The program was developed with the assistance of education experts and through extensive industry consultation, ensuring that the curriculum aligns with actual practice.

The New Brunswick Mortgage Broker Education Program has a different focus than the associate program above – it is based on the skills and knowledge required to effectively supervise associates and to ensure that the brokerage complies with all applicable rules.
