New York Loan Originator
Continuing Education (CE) Classes

Every state-licensed MLO (in any approved status) is required to complete at least 11 hours of NMLS approved education annually beginning the year they are licensed (unless PE was completed in the same year). Annual CE education must include (3 Hours) of Federal law, (2 Hours) of ethics (which shall include fraud, consumer protection, and fair lending issues), and (2 Hours) of non-traditional mortgage lending, plus Elective (1 Hour) New York Law (3 Hours) .

Note: NY-DFI will not accept any hours of other state-specific education to count towards the 1 hour of elective. MLOs are advised to complete either an 11 hour NY Comprehensive course or an 8 hour Comprehensive course and a 3 hour NY elective course.

MLOs are advised that to comply with the SAFE Act's "successive years" rule, they may not take the same CE course two years in a row. MLO's are advised not to retake pre-licensure education (PE) unless directed to by a State Regulator. PE education does not count towards meeting annual CE requirements.
