Hi,

Ontario Mortgage Agent Course 

Level 1 Mortgage Agent Licensing

This course is the required first step to becoming a licensed mortgage agent and a mortgage broker in Ontario. This course is approved for licensing as a level 1 mortgage agent by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA). Our mortgage agent course can be completed either online or in-class and is based on the 6th edition textbook Introduction to the Canadian Mortgage Industry.

The in-class course is delivered over 5 consecutive weekdays or Saturdays, from 9:00am to 4:30pm, and is taught by seasoned mortgage industry professionals. The online course takes roughly 40 hours to complete. Students must ensure to finish their studies within 6 months of registering.

Upon course completion, students are required to write a final examination. Exam rewrites are available for students who require it. Once a student has passed the final exam, they will be eligible to join a mortgage brokerage, who will then submit their application for licensing to provincial regulators.
