The Program

The two-phased format of the Ontario Mortgage Broker Education Program (OMBEP) is prescribed by FSRA. The program focuses on the skills and knowledge required to hire and effectively supervise agents and to ensure that the brokerage complies with the Mortgage Brokerages, Lenders and Administrators Act, 2006, its Regulations, and prescribed requirements. It is also designed to meet both the Mortgage Broker Qualifying Standards (MBQS) and MBRCC's Managing Broker Program Competencies and Curriculum.

The two-phase format of the Ontario Mortgage Broker Education Program is prescribed by FSRA. For more information about what each phase should deliver, please review the tabs at the bottom of this page.

OMBEP includes information on:

Understanding the regulatory environment and the importance of promoting a collaborative relationship with the Regulator
Implementing policies and procedures to ensure agents comply with the Act, its Regulations, and prescribed requirements
Determining whether staff are acting ethically or unethically and determining the most appropriate action to take
Dealing with, and protecting, clients
Creating and implementing best practices

PHASE I: Online PHASE II: In-Class Course Policy + FAQ

Phase I must be taught by distance-learning in order to be accessible to students across the province. This stage must cover all of the MBQS and MBRCC learning objectives so that students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to supervise agents and carry out the responsibilities of a Principal Broker or Compliance Officer.

Phase I has been re-launched in a new HTML format to make it easier and more convenient to complete on a variety of devices and browsers. For the best user experience, a desktop or laptop is recommended.

Phase II must consist of in-class seminars that build on the knowledge and skills acquired in the first phase through practical examples. In this phase, students will interact and learn from others’ ideas and experiences. This phase must run a minimum of five full days, including the examination. Students must take both stages of the course and pass the examination in order to meet the education requirements for licensing.
